How Long is the Warranty for Volkswagen Clutch?
2 Answers
Shanghai Volkswagen's DSG dual-clutch transmission extended warranty includes the clutch. The warranty period for the transmission is extended to 10 years or 160,000 kilometers. Here are some precautions for the clutch: 1. Press firmly: Always depress the clutch pedal all the way, otherwise you may find it difficult to engage the gear. 2. Release slowly: Lift the clutch pedal gradually. Many beginners stall the engine because they release the clutch too quickly. You can count silently in your mind: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. By the time you finish counting, the clutch should be fully engaged. 3. Stabilize the shake: Pause and hold the clutch at the biting point, then gently press the accelerator with your right foot. The car will move forward smoothly without shaking.
I remember the clutch warranty for Volkswagen cars is quite important, especially when you first buy the car. I asked the salesperson, and they said it follows the vehicle's general warranty, usually three years or 100,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The clutch is part of the powertrain and can wear out quickly due to driving habits, like aggressive acceleration or hard pressing, potentially failing within the warranty period. In such cases, take it to the dealership for inspection—if deemed normal wear, repairs might be covered. But don’t wait until after three years to check; a faulty clutch affects gear shifting, causing jerky movements, which is dangerous. The new car manual has detailed info, and I recommend downloading the Volkswagen app to check warranty status easily. Press the clutch gently and maintain the drivetrain regularly to extend its lifespan.
