Skoda Warranty in Ireland - 2 years or 3 years? (Old thread)

Old_-_School · 25-11-2008 7:23pm #1

In the UK, Skoda warranties are 3 years (up to 60,000 miles) while in Ireland Skoda warranties are only 2 years. If I bought a skoda in the UK and brought it back to Ireland would the warranty be 2 years or 3 years?

It's an EU warranty, so it's valid here too.

Normally the manufacturer supplies the original warranty in this case 2 years and then individual distributors apply them to their own markets with some offering an additional one year as an incentive as with Skoda UK I believe it is the same with Renault. It will depend on the relationship of the two distributors if the Irish distributor will honour the additional UK warranty as the first two years warranty will be submitted directly to and paid for by the factory but the third would have to be agreed and paid for by the UK distributor and this has caused problems in the past so it is not as simple as saying its a Eu warranty the first two years yes the third maybe !

Ring Skoda Ireland to be sure.

+1.

At worst a UK warranty for a third year claim will be refused by an Irish Skoda Dealer. At best, you will have to pay for the repairs and then claim it back from Skoda UK. There may be a difference between the labour rate you paid the Irish Skoda dealer versus the rate that Skoda UK will pay out.

This warranty is offered by Skoda UK and not by the manufacturer and does not strictly apply in other markets.

I have 2010 Skoda Yetti ..the electrics have gone and made me very nervous as the car slowed down of it's own accord on the motorway ..it did indicate that the glow plug was at fault but that was not the case...the central locking then went along with the electric windows ..when paying my toll fee I had to open the window ..then I was informed by the dashboard that my steering was faulty...I'm a nervous wreck..o bought this car on the basis of safety and reliability and I thought I wouldn't have problems as big as this...am I still covered by warranty .I bought it in Aptil 2010

We bought a new Octavia last year and I am pritty sure it is a 2 year warranty. Not really an issue as are car never causes any trouble anyway. Has never had to go in for warranty work. We have a 2005 Octavia which never gives trouble either. But to answer the question I think it is 2 years in Ireland.

The warranty is well up since this thread was originally posted, whether it be 2 or 3 years. :P
