  1. @Ootohere The car is already mine (past three years) so just a topic about getting the extended warranty and DSG info. Thanks for all your help throughout this thread. I have signed up for the All in bundle now and hopefully the warranty is good enough to deal with any important and sudden pb that may come down the road (if any). Cheers
  2. Thanks @Ootohere This is helpful.
  3. Fabulous. One expense less
  4. Thank you both for your replies and for the info and @Ootohere about the type of clutch on the car. Hopefully this is one of the more reliable ones since the issues in the previous decade? The car is just out of warranty so I will have a 30 day no claim period before this new one kicks in. The All In bundle (2 services, 2 MOT, 2 years Roadside assistance, 2 years warranty) is currently at £30 per month for 24 months. The "All-in Warranty covers almost all mechanical and electrical component failure on your vehicle" before listing the exclusions including "Wear and tear* of clutch component: clutch pressure plates, bearing and disc.". Since the car is only 3 years old with less than 20K miles (I pretty much do only 6K miles per year with it), hopefully any issues with the DSG would be difficult to exclude under wear and tear? The Spark Plugs, Pollen Filter and Air Filter are all included with this service plan but Brake fluid is excluded (cost of £65 VAT included). Guess the DSG oil change does not need to be changed at the 4 year year mark based on the type of clutch mentioned above but I may do it for peace of mind. If I did so, what time frame or amount of miles would you recommend it doing? Also, I read somewhere on this forum, that while the Haldex oil change is never mentioned by Skoda dealerships, that it may be a good idea to do so. If so, when do you recommend it done? The All In Service plan has a 3 year period from start date to end date. I imagine that if you do not service the car based on the annual recommendations from Skoda, the warranty would be ineffective per the servicing clause. "Servicing – To ensure that your vehicle is maintained in good condition, it should be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations. If it is not, we cannot be held responsible for any faults it may develop which could be attributed to the lack of service or maintenance. For this Warranty to remain valid, each service must be completed within 500 miles of the mileage recommended by the manufacturer or within four weeks of the recommended time period, whichever occurs first. If you fail to have your vehicle serviced in accordance with the manufacturers specification, cover will still apply for components which are not connected to vehicle servicing." The way I break it down is that servicing the car will generally cost me £480 to do over the next two years at a local independent shop (without brake fluid), the two MOT will generally cost around £50 a year, and the two year roadside assistance around £100 per year. So signing up with the dealer for £720 is not a bad deal in itself if the car is reliable and does not need much to be done to it (repair wise) with the warranty coming as a freebee. The main question mark is how good that warranty is? Guess time will tell. Anyways, sorry about all the questions. My car knowledge is very limited but trying to understand it better thanks to you guys.
  5. Hi everyone. Came accross this very helpful forum while searching for reviews on the All-In bundle as I am considering signing up to it for my Superb 2020 1.5 tsi model. Dealer mentioned that there is 20% off this week so speeding up my research on its utility before I depart with £720 for the 2 year bundle. I have read quite a few threads and more or less, it seems that it all comes down to whether you want to buy it for peace of mind (and hope the warranty kicks in when needed). However, trawling these posts, I started discovering the issues about DSG. Is there a way to figure out which one is on my car? On the last maintenance list, the Skoda dealer listed Gearbox Code UAG but I still can't figure out if it is the one that are causing quite a lot of issues these days. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
