What problems have you had out of warranty?

Approx. six months out and no issues apart from occasional top up of oil at the half way mark b/w service 2.0 TDI PD wagon, 43,000km. Still glad I got the extended warranty though

Front passenger side door handle does not open the door intermittently (in fact, it did it once or twice last year during winter and this year it did it for a week or so again during cold weather). Car has extended warranty but it is not playing up at the moment but I will take it in next time it occurs.

My 2007 model 103kw tdi has just had an fuel injector failure... not happy! Its only 4months out of warranty (and has done only 47,000km) - so waiting to see if VWA will cover some of the costs.

They sometimes cover these sort of failures for up to year outside of warranty - in the old days they called this their "good will" warranty. I had a throttle body replaced on a B5 1998 model Passat back in 2002 (~7mths out of warranty), also had a water pump replaced on a 2003 GTI a month out of factory warranty.

my low tone horn is dead and so it is very high pitched and girly

My Passat is a year out of warranty (done 70000 km) and my air con is not working. Seems to be a compressor fault. I will go to a dealer and see what he says. May be I am lucky and they will be willing to offer a "good will" warranty on this compressor.

Nothing worse than a girly horn.

I had the same issue with my 2007 125kw TDI at 49000. Fortunately 1 month inside warranty. Good luck with VWA, I hope they cough up!
