Should I extend the SEAT warranty?

[Gooner_Mike]

I have had the FR almost a year now and as I bought it from a dealer it came with a years warranty. Should I renew for another year?
I haven't phoned for a price yet but I was wondering if anyone had done this. My car has just reached 40k miles so will things start to fall off soon?

So or

How much is it, if you mind me asking?

Don't know, the letter from SEAT only came today and it didn't have a price on it I suppose it depends if they are havin any deals at the moment! I will give them a ring on Saturday AM. Just wondered if anyone knew roughly how much?

Have a close look at what is and isn't covered.

If i remember correctly.When my standard 3 year warranty ran out.Seat sent me a letter about extending it through 'Mondial'.Asked for a quote,and although i can't remember the exact amount,it was frighteningly high.I compared the same cover with 'Warranty Direct',and they were half the price.
I think Warranty Direct are a pretty good bet,but i've heard that if you play hard ball with their quote,they are inclined to drop the price a bit.
Personally,i didn't bother extending it with either.That was coming up to about 2 years ago now,and nothings went wrong(that the warranty would have covered).
Do you feel lucky?.

That's what I was thinking! Might just give them a bell anyway and see what they say...

i had a letter sayin i could carry on with the warranty but they wanted somthing like £500 pound to carry on with it think its alot of money if nothin goes wrong but ya never no.the funny thing was when i read it it had my name and make of ya and stuff but it was not from seat it was from ford.i ran seat up and they said yer its right ford sort it out anyone else had this or just me.

Don't bother, this site has enough info for you to diagnose faults yourself. Get vag-com for about £100 and you can sort out fault codes and diagnose stuff yourself. Most of the stuff you could fit/fix yourself once you get the error codes read.

A good price for the extended warrenty will be £3-400 I reckon and that won't cover much apart fro a total engine failure. If you were to claim for a total engine failure they would most probably not pay out and say that you didn't top up the oil/water.
