What's not covered items seem to include timing belt failure (page 7). I'd rung Skoda warranty and they'd emailed this to me, presably the VW all-in plan was the same as Skodas.

Like everything it's all within the small print.

Regarding my previous post, I decided to ring the Skoda yearly extended warranty customer helpline, as the terms and conditions are the same as the 'all in', policy wording for cambelt coverage. Yes it's covered for sudden failure, not covered for adjustment, checking or replacement during the specified serviceable replacement period. So I'll now take it as it is covered. The 'all in', customer services help line couldn't give me a direct answer, just supplied me the link to their warranty plan terms and conditions. Which added to the confusion. 

It would have been so much easier if within the warranty small print they'd have stated that the cambelt was covered for sudden failure within the first place, providing it was replaced within the manufacturers specified replacement period, which is now 10 years, up from the previous 5 on the 1.5tsi ACT engine.

Do the T&CS say 'Servicing to manufacturers guidelines, recommendations, specification'. or such?

 

Great if the Servicing & Maintenance guidelines, recommendations, schedule / specifications are clearly set out by the manufacturers.

 

The posts and threads last week on the Cam Belt replacement period in Non dust rich countries' such as the UK were in sections on here last week.

Getting that confirmed in writing from the Manufacturer or Importer in the UK which will be Skoda, or their franchised / authorised dealers / repairers and you are sorted.

As long as the car accepted into the all in service/warranty plan then everything that's stated is covered. Mine would be, it has a fdsh, but one of the previous services was carried out was by a Ford dealer, rest Skoda main dealers. 

I'm not sure if there's a pre-check by a Skoda dealer first, I'll find that out if I sign up to the plan over the next month.

Do you know of there's a coolant change interval on the 1.5tsi ACT engine? Thanks.
