Warranty Query

[kenboon]

I'v just bought a 2005 Lcr. Its first service was at 6500 miles and the cars now at 15000 miles. Does that mean i have to get it service done before 16500 miles to avoid voiding the warranty? I looked at another car but thats first service was at 13000 miles which put me off straight away and was told it may void the warranty with seat?

Cheers

you'll need to get it serviced by 16,500 (ish) or 12 months since the last service

Thanks for the prompt reply I was not sure how it worked as i have not got any of the documents for the car till thursday. What should i be looking to pay for the next service then? And does it have to be through a VAG garage so as not to void it?


Thanks Again

Every 10k or 12 months, whichever comes soonest.

There was a ruling a while back that so long as your car is serviced/repairs carried out by a VAT registered firm, sticking to the manufacturers guidelines and using genuine parts, they cannot refuse a warranty claim because its not been done by a main dealer.

My cars first service was done at 2500 miles as the 12 months was up.
I bought it then so the next service is at 12,500?.

The time will be up before the next mileage but does the dealer simply do a
10k service if it's on say 15K and 20K service if it's inbetween again say on 25K?

yes by 16,500 or 12 months.

however seat are pretty good on such matters and you wont find yourself without a warranty the instant you go over this by a mile or by a day!

but be sensible, dont take the piss!

Cheers for the replys.

Just looked at some of the paper work i got and on closer inspection it was registered on the 17/1/2005 didnt notice that before. Would you say thats too much over due?

Thanks again
