Is it a VW warranty or an aftermarket purchased warranty? The aftermarket warranty will issue a contract telling you what you will need to do including who can service and what parts have to be used. New car warranties can only tell you what maintenance needs to be done but purchased or aftermarket warranties have more control. Be careful if it is a purchased warranty, many will have the following exclusions: Anything related to normal wear. Performance problems, (burned valves not covered as long as engine still runs). Failure caused by failure of a non covered part. I.e. Hose failure causes overheating damaging engine. Of course abuse or accident. Dennis

(NVC) Sorry I know it's not quite friday yet but ... For the first time ever I own a car new enough to come with a warranty. A VW New Beetle. It's time for regular servicing - can anyone tell me if I am required to have it serviced at the dealer (to ensure the warranty is valid) or can I take it to my usual VW mechanic? Thanks |
