Warranty Extension to 10/120k on PCV

[The Fed]

My experience is you need to have a code or the car needs to be running really badly before a dealer will even look at it let alone fix it for free.

And I called VW yesterday. I'm covered for all three - mine is a late production 2007.

F'in A I'm getting crazy hard starts now with this cold weather. :frown:

just got my letter about this today from VWOA. I have the DSG warranty extension and this, just wish my car qualified for the cam follower warranty extension. In 10 years my car will only have about 60,000 miles on it so I'll be covered until 2018.

Sad thing is the 08's are having the same exact follower issues as the 06 and 07's but lo warranty love...

This program covers certain 2008's.

I have a 2008 FSI GTI and received my letter in the mail the other day on the warranty extension.

Is there a vin search engine much like this one to tell you if your car qualifies for a warranty extension?

Ones I know my 06 GTI qualifies for is the cam follower, pcv and spoiler brake light. Are there any more?

I got my letter the other day too. It's a 2008 FSI engine, although I have never had any trouble with any of these things.

Only a matter of time...

Guess who just got their letter the other night, this guy did :biggrin: do I just take my car in with this letter and say fix it? Lol or should I take off my mods and go about it cautiously? Anyone with experience have any input? :thumbsup:

are you having issues with your PCV or IM Flap Motor? My understanding is that this is simply an extension of warranty on the parts not a recall campaign. Therefore you would have to have a current issue probably with a CEL for the parts to be replaced. I think the way the warranty extension read is that they will check the parts for you at no cost however a replacement will only be performed in the event a malfunction was found.

What mods do you have? The letter states that non EPA approved performance enhancing modifications will void the warranty on theses parts. I would say unless you have a dealer that is mod friendly I would swap them out.

Good stuff, must have skimmed over that part when I read the letter. I'm having "flappy" starts that take a couple extra seconds to turn over on a cold morning, and some irregular type noises under high boost, low rpm and then shift- situations, I'm 90% sure I have the intake flap motor failure syndromes

Edit: I have AWE DP, BSH PCV revamp that's about all I can think of

Looks like no TSI love from VW. I have a CEL for the intake motor flap but I guess I'm not covered. =(
