Perhaps I've become a worrying noo noo from browsing the VW forums, but I'm considering getting an extended warranty for our Golf. They seem to have a few issues I don't fancy forking out for.

Just wondering if anyone had any recommendations for such a company?

If it helps the car's a 2005MY Golf 2.0 TDI DSG...

VW is about £400 from memory and that seems steep.

Thanks

£400 for a full manufacturers warranty extension is bloody cheap, I wouldn't hesistate at getting it especially with a DSG car. Audi wanted £1200 for my 3.2 A4...

Probably worth it if its a proper VW warranty, and if you haven't had the expensive ESP problem yet.

That's one of the things that's made me think of a warranty...

That and the countless other things that are seemingly made of cheese on them.

Tbh I might have pulled the £400 out of thin air. I'll need to triple check again.

£400 sounds about right. It's based on engine capacity and it was around £680 for the all component unlimited mileage warranty on my R32.

It's done through Mondial, just call up the number on the VW website and they'll email you the details witin mnutes. Remember the price also includes VW Assist which is £89 by itself.

For £400 it has to be a no brainer?! Any trip to VW is going to recoup the warranty cost in one go.
