CC Extended Warranty, rip off?

[Transporter]

Thanks guys, I guess I have to weigh my options, it is a shame, such a lovely car... I might even sell it and not get another VW.
I was reading on this forum, and some guys are saying VW has extended the warranty on DSG to 5 years, is that correct at all?

They do and depending when was your car made, it's 150,000km or 5 years. I'm not sure if the other car manufacturers are extending the warranties when people complaining that components are failing like the VAG does? The PD injectors 7 years, the DSG 5 years. I think that VAG is treating their customers fairly even when it takes them longer to respond, comparing to other brands. Though I accept that some may have a different experience, but their expressions are only the one sided views they post and based only on their very limited understanding of the car complexity.

So mine is 2010 MY10, and was bought in 2011, you think it is covered?
By the way, thanks for the very helpful replies

You're welcome.
It should be, but confirm it with the VW to be sure. In any case if your DSG fails within a year or two with less than 150,000km, I expect that VW will cover the cost of the repair, judging from the latest media attention they were given. So, I wouldn't be extending the warranty paying $3500 just because of the DSG.

Ok then, great to know.
You are a good man, thanks again.
