Would the manufacturer's warranty cover a turbo?

Question

2003 VW Turbo 1.8T

Answer 1

First of all it has to be during the warranty period.
And secondly, they'll do it only if you didn't use it improperly.
Turbos get usually ruined when you turn off the engine too fast.
In all cars with a turbo -diesel or petrol- you have to allow the turbo to loose rpm's, and that is letting the engine idle for 2 minutes before you turn it off.
Turbos usually work at 100,000 rpm and if you cut the engine, the lubrication gets cutted off, and that's when they suffer damage.

Answer 2

Drive train warrenty on a 2003 VW is 5 years or 60,000 miles.That warrenty stays with the car even if you are not the original owner.The turbo should be covered under that warrenty.Take it to a dealer.V W customer care can be called if necessary.The number is in the owner man.If you cannot find it,contact [e-mail]

Answer 3

Yes it should be covered by the warrenty if it is still in effect.

Jose * the VW has a pump that pushes oil thrue the bearings of the turbo after you shut off the engine. I am not sure for how long but I know the bearings are cool when the pump stops.

Answer 4

Yes, turbo falls under the power train warranty. check owners manual for how long the power train warranty is. it goes by miles and time. power train covers all items that oil is supplied to and the turbo has oil going to it to lubricate it. even if the waste gate vacuum pod is broken it is covered because the pod CAN NOT be purchased seperate from the turbo some dealers will tell you it is not covered. if this happens tell the manager to open his policy and proceedure manual and look under items covered where oil flows to. have had many dealers try and not cover it. if still not satisfied call volkswagen of America. # is in your books. and the dealership HAS to render the number to you. good driving

Answer 5

If you are within time and mileage limits, and the turbo is not excluded from the warranty, you should be covered! Seeing as the car is 3 years old, you would have to check with a dealer to be sure!

Answer 6

Yes your warranty covers the stock turbocharger. In addition, if the car was sold in the United States, as the turbocharger is considered by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to be part of the exhaust emissions system the manufacturer is required to cover it for five years, just like the calalytic convertor.

Answer 7

Any standard equipment is covered by the Manufacturer's warranty for a set period of time or miles -- whichever comes first. Your 2003 is probably out (or close to being out) of warranty, depending on the date of purchase and the amount of miles driven.

If you have an extended warranty you have to VERY CAREFULLY read the policy to determie what is covered - it varies from one policy to the next.

Answer 8

you are able to no longer practice your new factors did no longer reason it to any extent further than Subaru can practice they did. that is somewhat trouble-free - study the words and prerequisites of the producing facility guarantee. i'm guessing there is wording in there that in the time of fact says to no longer touch something touching directly to the engine or the insurance of the engine (and all its factors) is background. if that's the case, there isn't any longer something you're able to do different than study out of your very high priced mistake. additionally what the different guy stated is genuine, CAI's and cat lower back exhaust to little if any to enhance overall performance, they only make the vehicle sound greater efficient.

Answer 9

Yes, the turbo is categorized as part of the engine. It will have at least the same warranty as the engine/drivetrain warranty.
