volkswagen extended warranty Q&A Review
Should I buy another extended warranty on my Volkswagen?
Please check the following… Vikas Saxena's answer to What are some money saving tips? Do not buy extended warranty! I’m not sure whether people would approve of my answer for ,this question, but believe me, this is one area where people have spent billions of dollars. An average person buys a lot of gadgets, appliances and automobiles in his life. The moment you happen to buy one, the salesman comes after your life to request you to buy an extended warranty. This extended warranty comes with additional premium a part of which goes to the manufacturer (of that item) and another to the insurance company. Just recall, how many times, has it so happened that your purchased item has failed during that extended warranty period….! Almost never! On top of that (to your utmost frustration) the item fails just after the extended warranty period, doesn’t it? A large percentage of people falls for it and repents later why they bought one. I’m going to save you a lot of money by sharing this with you. Why I suggest not buying an extended warranty is because the failure pattern of most of these Electronic/Electrical/Mechanical items like gadgets, appliances, automobiles follows a Statistical distribution which is called the Weibull Distribution. You please do not need to get into the details of this theory. Let us try to take advantage of this. Please have a look at the distribution image below. Please do not worry, the image looks a bit formidable but I’ll make it simple for you to understand. �� When you purchase an item, its failure follows the graph as shown above. The highest Probability for the item failing is for a short period after the unit comes into use, this is depicted by the Zone A in the image. This happens because there are parts that may not have been thoroughly tested and some manufacturing defects. Then all those defective parts fail and get replaced and the item possibly functions without faults for years. This smooth running period is depicted by the Zone B in the image. Then the item reaches its lifetime end, and again probability of failure becomes much higher since most parts wear out and start failing one by one. This happens in the Zone C. Now come to the secret of the extended warranty sellers. Manufacturers offer you initial warranty till the end of Zone A which is normally called the ,Manufacturer’s Warranty, that usually comes with most of the standard items. They try to sell ,you the extended warranty only up to the end of Zone B (and the start of Zone C), that’s it, not even a day beyond that! Why…? Because they know the failure pattern of their product and they also know that giving warranty for the Zone C definitely will cost them dearly as the item is most likely to fail in that period. BUT, they are happily selling the warranty up to Zone B since they know that it is the most efficient working time for their product so they are safe and most of their warranty offers will expire without a claim. Great…isn’t it? Yes, exceptions never make an example and hence some items may fail during zone B also but that’s highly unlikely. If you happen to be one of the victims, please don’t start trusting ext. warranty again. Do I need to say now, don’t please buy extended warranty and save a lot of money? Thanks for reading! Update June 21st, 2018 6.30 AM: A Jacobs This is such great information! Thank you! BTW, how do you figure out for any one item when zone B ends and C begins? I’m buying a 2015 Volkswagen car. The manufacturer 36 month warranty has expired but the ,dealer is offering me an extended 72 month (from day of purchase) for $2000. ,So this is 6 years, from 3rd through 9th year of the age of the car. Warranty doesn’t cover wear & tear only factory issues. So how can I figure out for this car when that critical period ends? Any help would be much appreciated. Vikas Saxena Thank you so much for your comments. I’m glad to know that you found it useful. See, it’s not possible for us to know the details of the zones B and C as consumers. Since the manufacturers produce thousands of their products, they know exactly how the failure pattern of their products behave. This is called a larger sample in studies like this. Coming to your specific question, this offer from your dealer seems unbelievably good. Please read my another answer in the context. Vikas Saxena's answer to Is it better to buy warranties or pay for damages? I suggest you should go for this offer depending upon how reliable/reputed your dealer is. Hope this helps. I’ll update my answer with your comment and question so that others can also take an informed decision. VS
Have the issues with the Volkswagen DQ200 Automatic 7 Speed DSG transmission been fixed now?
Hey. Thanks for the A2A. :) The 7 speed DSG is used in the following combinations. Now. The problematic gearbox was the DQ200 one. Which does duty in the VW Polo GT TSI, Vento TSI, Skoda Ovtavia TSI, Skoda Superb TSI as of now. There's two issues with them. 1. Mechatronic Failure :- In this a vehicle will not move even when in D mode. 2. Multi Clutch Assembly :- This is like when any manual car needs a clutch replacement. You can still use your car and it'll take a long long time for it to stop working. Anyways, one should get it repaired ASAP. Now. The issues with these cars is such that because of our humid conditions and stop start traffic. The gearbox gets hot and causes too much stress for itself. Solutions to it :- 1. Whenever you're at a signal or a toll or somewhere you've to stop for more than 10 - 15 seconds, instead of stopping and pressing the brakes in D. Shift the gear knob to N and engage the handbrake. So that there's 0 stress on the box. Some may suggest you shift to P but that's not advisable as incase someone rear ends you, it'll cause damage to the Park pin. In N no such issues. So follow this practise. 2. The manufacturers claim that a gearbox oil change is recommended around 60,000 kms or so. But in the manual it also states that if you're driving conditions are humid and also have stop start traffic one must get it done earlier. I suggest get it done every 20,000 kms. I do the same. And lastly, the gearbox may seem like a weak link in the car to you. But believe me it's maddening. It shifts gears in 8 milliseconds. It gives mileage as good as a manual if not more. These TSI engines coupled with a dual clutch transmission are pure gems. Also, don't forget that the gearbox issue is known to VW too. So incase anything goes wrong most of them replace it for free even if your car's not in warranty. As it is is bloody expensive. They know the issue and replace it if needed. But also go for extended warranty if you don't plan to modify your vehicle. I wanted to modify it so extended warranty was useless for me. Hope it helps. You'll love owning one. :) P. S. - Even the Bugatti has a similar gearbox. Audis and Lamborghinis too. They can't go wrong. Relax and enjoy your ride. :D
Are extended warranties on a used Volkswagen Jetta actually worth the cost?
If an extended warranty is offered by a used car dealer on a European car with low miles like a recent lease return it might be a good deal. Here in the USA VW had a 6 year bumper to bumper warranty that was fully transferrable meaning it’s coverage would transfer to the second owner with the same coverage offered to the original owner for the 2019 model year. A lot of VW Jetta’s from 2019 in basic trim with the driver assistance package that were former dealer loaner cars became available to the pre-owned market when the 2020 models were introduced. These pre-owned averaged about 12k miles and were less than a year old meaning they had 5 years and around 50k miles of full factory warranty left for around $5k less than the price of new one’s and still qualified for low interest VW credit loans. These were a very good deal. The follow up 2020 models dropped back to a 4 year warranty, so the pre-owned 2019 models actually had a better warranty with 5 years and around 50k miles remaining than the new models with only four years of new car coverage. Most newer European cars do not have the reliability of Honda, or Toyota so they generally have warranties of 4 years or better so the pre-owned buyer has at least one year of factory warranty coverage on a 3 year old lease return. European built cars are about as reliable as Asian and domestic brands because of the USA requirement that they pass a smog test or face a recall. The big deal here is that European cars must be maintained according to the recommended service intervals and late or missed service requirements along with using aftermarket service parts like oil filters or non synthetic oil can cause severe damage in a short time. Cars sold in California have to pass the states stricter smog rules but the reliability of the cars built to pass California smog rules works so well that California does not require a car to be tested for smog until it is six years old or resold because they require all cars to pass a smog test before being sold new or used. Some European brands like Mini, and Jaguar/ Rover have poor reliability and are quite expensive to keep and have steep depreciation rates because of quality issues while most German luxury cars seem afflicted with electronic issues before they get older than six years. The Asian builders are pushing their electronic component suppliers to build circuits that last ten or more years. Most suppliers only strive for a six year lifespan. VW like almost all European builders had a real problem with electronics after the unification when they tried to transfer electronic module production from Europe and Asia to former Soviet factories in the former East Germany and Soviet block countries. It was a major disaster that took several years to correct. VW’s built in North America and Brazil now source major components in Asia using many of the same OEM suppliers that supply components to Asian brands with a heavy investment in North American production like Toyota, Subaru, and Nissan. This was never more apparent when both the Toyota Camry an VW Jetta began using an 8 speed automatic built by the same OEM supplier. The issue was resolved with updated ECU and transmission software updates, but both Toyota and VW had to wait while the problems were addressed by the OEM supplier. I would never buy a late model car without factory warranty coverage or factory pre-owned warranty coverage if it was under three years old or if comprehensive aftermarket warranty coverage was not available. Todays cars have evolved into very complex mechanical devices controlled by expensive electronic modules that cannot be repaired but only replaced if they fail. My nephew needed a two year EE degree and an extra year of specialized college education just to apply for a job as an assembly line worker at Tesla. If the car you want to buy is not available with a reasonably priced extended warranty and a clean smog test it is best to walk away from it no matter what the price is. Late model cars that are not lease returns and are for sale are being dumped by their owners for a reason and older cars with more miles on them are a gamble because their value is heavily dependent on how they were maintained and used rather than what brand or model they are.
Is it worth taking an extended warranty for the Volkswagen Polo GT TSI?
I have a 2015 polo GT TDI I got the 2 year extended warranty for 20k inr my water pump broke and steering wreck was showing signs of breakage at 33000 km so got it changed underwarranty as totol cost was 30k inr so the 2 year warranty does make sense for German cars if you drive it daily and in warranty cars are easier to sell and will definitely fetch you more than 20k if you decide to sell plus you also get the peace of mind Disadvantages for the warranty I would say is you have to get it serviced at authorized service center which charges 10k inr per service whereas you can get it done for half the cost outside plus water pump and other parts for a car like polo can be easily sourced in Delhi NCR and tier 1 cities .

Should I buy the extended warranty for a 2015 Volkswagen Jetta TDI S? It will cost $2,555 for 6 years/72,000 mi. or $35/month. I can get out of it anytime.
Depends on what it covers. New brake disc can cost you $1000-$2000 head gasket repair $1000 … if you drive $10k/year it might be worth it, if you do $1k then it won’t.
I am in the process of purchasing a used 2014 Volkswagen Passat 4DR Sedan 1.8 TSI from my local dealership. They are wanting to sell me on the extended warranty for an additional $2600. Is this worth it?
Probably not, but it depends how many miles are on the car and how long and what issues the extended warranty would cover.
Did you ever buy a former rental car intentionally? What was your experience after a year of using it?
Back when we were looking for a minivan to haul extended family around, I decided to purchase a minivan that had been used in service as a rental car. There a few reasons for this. First, minivans as brand new vehicles are pretty expensive. Second, there tends to be a huge depreciation in value after the first or second year for minivans that aren’t a Toyota or Honda. Third, minivans as used rental cars for some reason seem to have less mileage on them than the other rental cars. So back in 2011, I purchased a 2009 Volkswagen Routan with 24k miles on it for $15,795 plus tax, title and reg fees from Hertz. Considerably less than the $32–34k list price on a new one. To be safe I also purchased the 4 year extended warranty for $1200, as I wasn’t sure how the car would hold up over time. At the time of purchase, we were asked to look over the car and see if there was anything wrong. I complained about a couple of dents and a missing trim piece or two inside the vehicle. The dents were repaired, and the trim piece was replaced at no additional cost, before we took possession (about a week later to get the repairs and parts ordered). The question was specifically around the first year of experience, and quite honestly the car was perfect the first year. We had no problems with it, and actually we still own it today, 8 years later. Did we have any problems in the first four years (during the extended warranty)? Yes, a couple of very minor issues. which were covered by the extended warranty, but the repair costs were less than the cost of the warranty, so while the warranty covered them, it would have been less expensive not to buy the warranty and pay for the repairs, but I’m still glad we got the warranty, just in case. So 8 years later, it’s still one of the best vehicles I’ve ever owned, and was a perfect match for our needs at the time we bought it.
Can one extend Volkswagen car's warranty for another two years as a second owner of the car within two years of manufacturing?
