VW UK warranty

Stallingrad

Does anyone know if the VW warranty on new UK cars (3 years) is honoured by VW Ireland? Looking at a 1 year old car.

they only match what the Irish warranty is

If the car can be driven there's nothing to stop you nipping over the border with it if you had to. Not ideal but an option all the same.

irish (below) and UK warranties appear identical so that would suggest a 1 year old car would be good for another 2 years here.

"Three-year manufacturer's warranty
All Volkswagens now come with a 3-year warranty* which protects your vehicle against the failure of most mechanical and electrical components due to manufacturing defects Your vehicle should be serviced in accordance with the manufacturer's specifications. Any damage to or defect in the vehicle caused by poor or insufficient servicing will not be remedied under the vehicle's warranty.
*The first two years have an unlimited mileage warranty. The 3rd year warranty has a limitation of 90,000km. The 3rd warranty only applies to cars registered from the 1st January 2013 and thereafter."

From personal experience the 3rd year will definitely be covered in NI if not down here, once you can get the car to them.
