Have you ever claimed on it? My worry with aftermarket warranty is that its like insurance - they'll do anything to get out of paying.
If I extend it, it'll be through SEAT.

I have the same clunking noise, but i never know when it gonna happen so i dont know where its coming from!! sound like passenger side!! chris..
I used to have the noise, until I replaced the bushes and the track rod ends... so far it's been as quiet as a mouse

were the track rod ends worn then player? i can understand about the bushes... chris..
I wouldn't describe myself as a 'player' but the N/S track rod end had a lot of play in it. In fairness though it has taken a fair amount of abuse in 100k miles and didnt take long to replace, about 20 minutes each side
I went through that, but i searched for a few reviews, and they seemed the best. i havnt claimed yet, i only just bought the cover. They seem like they are a good company, ill find out soon if i have to claim. The level of cover is so much cheaper than Seat's equivalent, all Seat do, like the other manufacturers, is go through an external company anyway, and charge you a premium.
Try searching for reviews for "WarrantyDirect", could save your self a lot of money.
front left sidelight keeps blowing - right side still on original.
turbo replaced, although it was remapped....
rear washer came undone a few times, they have a new modified clip out now - no problems since.
strange engine/ turbo stutter at lowish rpm - its like i lose boost, seat checked all pipes and cant find a problem but admit there are some 'flat spots'. My mate advised me that this is sometimes problems with the EGR valve that needs cleaning with some carb cleaner.. Any one else had this problem and know if its just something that needs a clean???
air con keeps getting spiked according to my vag com and from the way it randomly flashes some days - seems to work though!

I have a grunting sound when i accelerated, sort of sounds like a blown exhaust, worse when engine put under pressure> i have on 03 tdi sport 130 diesel, do you think that could be the bolts?

my local dealer has phoned us today and said that we should have the car back for wednesday.
it was the power steering pump.
brought my 2002 1.2s in July 2005.
1. Drive it off the forecourt and 1 mile down the road the temp gauge goes right up and then engine cuts out. It had an oil leak aparantly which dripped onto a belt and made it slip and then it shredded! - fixed under warranty
2. Grinding/rubbing noise coming from front when going over bumps - had roll bar bushes replaced under warranty - problem is still there
3. Drivers window regualtor goes while on the M6 - problem fixed under warranty
4. Remote central locking stopped working - key replaced under warranty
5. leak coming from somewhere - drivers and behind drivers footwells are soaking wet, have to wet and dry vac it every time it rains - had door seal replaced, window seals checked - still not fixed
6. Cigarette lighter only works when it wants to - and even then doesnt get very hot - socket isnt even producing enough power to charge my phone - not fixed, not in the mood to spend money on the shed!
7. Passenger door refusing to open - wont respond to the remote key and wont let me pull the pin up from inside either. Cant put the key in the door cause the passenger side doesnt have a key hole! - still not fixed (hoping to vag com it at coombe abbey meet)
7. Timimg chain slipped, tensioner snapped = £350 bill. - fixed reluctantly
and the latest...
8. Rear washer jet not working - am guessing the pipe has come off - not fixed.
I really do love my car

we got the car back from the dealer last friday so very quick service and it was the power steering pump.
my wife also has a slight grinding noise from the front of her car when travelling at about 15 mph, braking and turning. we have spoken to the dealer but as usual they couldn't find anything wrong

Thats a list!!!!!..
# 8 is a common problem.. but i never look out my rear window & never use my wash/wipe..
#7 dont u have to double click the eye remote..
i forgot......
9. this came after number 3 on the list - lol - when accelerating, my car would lose power, like a flat spot and then it would feel like it was braking although i wasnt pressing the brake. happened in all gears at all speeds. Turned out to be one of my brake sensors sticking, so when i was accelerating, my abs was tring to kick in at the same time (i think thats what it was) - fixed under warranty
hi there mate, you say the car started losing power? as in the engine sort of just cut off and lost power or just started going slower?
every now and then my Ibiza Sport will just cut the engine off while I am driving, regardless of what speed. Sometimes happends 3 times a days, sometimes once a month.
air con
was it the compressor that failed? did you have to pay for it?
Oh that reminded me, had the air con unit replaced.. twice!

strange grunting type noise
Not on tick over or if you push throttle on still, seems to happen when engine under load. Someone suggested a gasket on turbo and the bolts being lose?
