Tinted windows - do they void official porsche warranty?
Discussion

Wrong, ask your OPC or Porsche GB, I think you will find that they are OK. A lot has happened with recent legislation affecting the scope of warranties.
Wrong, the official Porsche extended "warranty" is in fact an insurance policy, not a warranty.The underwriter sets the terms, not your OPC and not Porsche GB. Pope is correct.
The rules for the new car warranty are different.

I have been in touch with my OPC and Porsche GB warranties dept who confirm that the extended warranty, not just the new, is not voided by VAT registered companies working on your car, to the required schedule or standard using Porsche parts. The use of non Porsche parts is also debatable in view of legislation but always better to confirm with Porsche. Porsche also confirm that the warranty both new and used is with them, the underwriters are just that, Porsche make the decisions.

Block exemption does not apply to insurance policies, as I understand it.....http://www.parr-uk.co.uk/servicing/block-exemption...

Why don't you do some research and determine the facts? Who determines whether a claim is honoured, Porsche or a insurance rep? If Porsche GB put something in writing then they are committing themselves and if you like their underwriters to what they say. Porsche insist that they provide the insurance.

Facts?? (you do realise you've linked to an judgement from over 10 years ago, and this is you 'recent legislation'...??!!)Small claims may be delegated to the OPC. Larger claims will require authorisation from the underwriter / insurer.

Porsche / OPC have no authority whatsoever to commit their independent underwriters to anything.alexisn said:

Did you read the small print? Do you believe everything the OPC tell you...??Edited by sidicks on Wednesday 5th March 20:37
My understanding was that for the extended warranty you cant do anything outside of OE.
If on renewal of policy the inspecting dealer accepts the car, and thus the contract is formed - then yes you are ok.
But if before the contract is formed they refuse to make and offer due to the non OE parts there is not a lot you can do. (heard of this a few times)
Once you accept the contract, during the period of the policy, you must abide by the terms of the contract.

No the legislation is not 10 yrs old, read the link again. Get up to date. If Porsche say they will do something then they will, it is a Porsche extended warranty. But you can easily resolve this by contacting Porsche and enlightening yourself, not to difficult.
For the last time, it's NOT a Porsche warranty, it's an insurance product which is not backed or underwritten by Porsche.alexisn said:
You had better tell Porsche then, they are obviously not in possession of your wisdom on this matter.
You've spoken to all of "Porsche"?And yet on this thread, someone from Porsche has confirmed my comments and contradicted yours. Maybe you don't know anywhere near as much as you think you do....
