Hi all! My standard 3 years warranty is about to expire at the end of this month and I am at dilemma if I should purchase extended warranty from Skoda direct  (as seen on their web-site LINK)

There are 2 options: Named part & All parts Cover, but it isn't very clear which parts are excluded and which scenarios would not result damaged/faulty part to be fixes free of charge. Also does general wear & tear would be covered, for example clutch/flywheel or turbo?

 I could not find much relevant information in the search, so I would like to ask other Superb Mk.2 owners to share views and experience. Cheers!

Just to answer partly my own question - Quote from the warranty booklet:

We

will not pay for:

Airbags, batteries, non-Xenon and non-LED bulbs, exhaust

systems, water ingress (including damage to covered parts

caused by water), wiper blades, wheel balancing and alignment;

wiring, wiring looms, connections and fuses, wheels and tyres.

Any losses or damage to components that are not directly

covered within the terms of this warranty.

All bodywork components including encased aerials, paintwork,

glass, seals, sunroof assemblies, soft top roofs, and any

component, which may require adjustment from time to time.

Body panels.

Catalytic converters and diesel particulate filters.

Diagnostic time of any type (unless incurred as part of a

valid claim).

Routine servicing (all components replaced associated with

routine servicing are excluded).

All adjustments, cam belt timing, diesel pump timing or cleaning.

Components that are not of a matching quality to ŠKODA

approved components

.

Seat frames.

Gas struts.

Strikers and hinges.

Brake frictional material

.

Clutch frictional material

.

Constant Velocity (CV) boot gaiters.

External oil leaks (unless it requires the removal of a major

component e.g. Engine, Gearbox, Rear Axle), lubricants, filter

elements and any damage caused by frost or lack of anti-freeze,

impact, accident or negligence.

Electrical software update or reprogramming unless required due

to the failure of a covered part.

Interior trim including seats, seat belts and pre-tensioners.

Normal maintenance services, and the replacement of such

items as, but not limited to, spark plugs, plug leads, oils, filters

and lubricants (the cambelt is covered providing it has been

maintained correctly).

Recharging of the air conditioning unit, owing to natural depletion

of the refrigerant.

Renewal of any clutch components due to

wear and tear

,

misuse

or incorrect adjustment.

Renewal of brake components due to

wear and tear

or constant

use of the brakes.

The clearing of fuel lines, filters, fuel injection system, throttle

body, pumps and any damage caused by contaminated or

incorrect fuel.

The gradual reduction in operating performance (

wear and tear

)

due to the age and mileage of the covered vehicle.

Traffic management system, telephone including Bluetooth, TV/

DVD, satellite navigation system and associated equipment of all

types.

We

will not pay for fixed or portable in car entertainment systems

including, but not limited to, audio or video equipment, games

consoles, CD multi-changers, MP3 or

iPod equipment, speakers, amplifiers, remote controls.

Any exclusion detailed under the General Exclusions sec

types.

And this considered almost defies the subject of having extended warranty! :-(

I've extended mine for the second time and they offer you a discount for the second year. I've gone for all parts cover but wear & tear is NOT covered for clutch/brakes etc - Turbo should be covered though. I thought it was fairly cheap but mine is only the 1.4tsi which I think makes it cheaper.

 

Thus far I've not needed the original 3 yr or extended warranty for anything at all (now 55k miles) , hope it stays that way

The exclusion also said infotainment system when I was offered it.

Looking at the most likely things to fail and seeing that they were all excluded I quickly realised just what a scam the extended warranty was.

Apart from the fact I wouldn't want my local dealer anywhere near my car.
