Warranty Direct renewal???

Post by eyeball » Sat Mar 13, 2010 7:13 pm

I spoke to WD the other day about some work that needs doing to my car and during the chat i asked him if it was right that they no longer cover the b5 rs4? He confirmed this and so I mentioned that my warranty was up for remewal next month and wether my policy would still continue. He said he wasn't sure if I would be able to renew it and the only way I'd know is by seeing if I receive a renwal form in the post....not really a nice way to find out I thought????
He also said that once the car has past the 10 year age limit then they will not cover it anymore either??? So if this is the case, what are other's on this forum doing about sorting out a warrany?? :? :? :?

Bolleks mate they are talking, mine was renewed in January and they did it at same rate as last year. Wait for the renewal in the post and then call em up to beat the quote. Call me if you need any more advice!

Cheers Phil!!
I was getting a little concerned about it all. I just hope they dont change their policies as its nice to have the peace of mind.
Any news on the vxr day, I mentioned it to jules on here and he said he'd probably be up for it.
Mine's going in to unit 20 on monday so hopefully it'll have a clean bill of health for the summer.

FFS!!...Gutted mate, cos that was a good day but at the price this year i'm not suprised they sold out the same day. :cry: I'll keep an eye on the site to see if any more dates come up. Maybe we'll have to arrange a outdoor karting day instead?? :wink:

So with WD, when the they send the renewal do they hike the price up? What price are you paying? I'm paying £50.00 pm thats with the extra care cover.

Think I'm about 600 notes a year mate now with extra care and emissions/airbag cover (this is a must to add on mate) as it covers Lambda's, MAF's etc......

Wait for the renewal letter and then call them up to arrange a better deal. Ask them to match last years especially if you have had little or no claims.
