• VW Warranty Hassles 10 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  In the end they found the guy who sold me the warranty and he was told to phone VW to sort it out. I was then told I could only have a 1yr warranty at a cost of £440 and that they would refund £220. After a few minutes refelection and reading the warranty publicity booklet I asked to see a price list for the warranty and was told that that what VW have told us to charge £440, a bit of pushing and a price list was presented showing £440 is a two year and 60k warranty not a 1yr unlimited.
