Is a split CV boot on a 2003 VW Passat 1.8T S/W manual shift with 36000 miles covered under warranty?

Question

The standard warranty covers 4 years and 50000 miles

Answer 1

i own a repair shop,and i think it might be,,but one thing to consider is there going to look at this as a moving part and it may not be covered by the warranty,but id try it ,they might actually cover it,,if you drive it much longer it will need a new joint in it,, if has been busted for a while because it will sling all the grease out of it,and ruin it,and then it will fall out of it for sure,,id call them and find out real soon because a CV joint wont last long with out grease in it,,good luck i hope this help,s.

Answer 2

Hard to say with the way warranties are written. Some include wear and tear items some do not. Only way to know for sure is call VW and ask. Axle boots are wear and tear items so they may not cover them but I would bet they will.

Answer 3

It would probably depend on what they discover once they open her up. If there are other things damages around the joint to indicate rough driving or rough driving surfaces, such as a lot of pot holes, probably not.
If you get someone to Look at it and that is all that is Wrong inside of the wheel housing, they will probably cover it.

Answer 4

read your warranty for powertrain and see if its covered. I think it should be but you never know. If it says it is in your warranty booklet, then they should cover it.
If its not specifically listed in the warranty booklet, then they probably won'y cover it.

Answer 5

yes i belive so, but they might try to push you around about it, so stick to you're guns, and just tell them what you want done, have the warrenty paperwork with you to show them!!
