New Car Warranty

[majesticmatt]

Hi,
I've just ordered a new Max Pro Performance from a leasing company (Autorama) on a 3 year lease.

Out of interest, what have they gave you as a delivery date ?

For every other VW/Audi I have ever owned from new (15!) The brake fluid change is at year 3 and every 2 years thereafter, I expect the ID3 to be the same. For me, that 3 year service plan is probably going to be a service at 2 years old (cabin pollen filter change kick the tyres and "checks"), then back in at year 3 for that brake fluid change and a pre-MOT cursory look-see. Definitely not more than £300 all in at retail rates.

Brake pad/disc wear shouldn't be a concern for at least 5 years - unless you drive like a total clown, regen will be doing 3/4 of your braking for you, without using the pads at all.

Well the ID3 is on a 2 year fixed service interval, so you can ignore the request to visit the dealer when it pops up in the console and change your own brake fluid at 3 years. And yes Brake pad wear should not be an issue which is why the ID3 is 2 years and unlimited mileage, however the brake wear indicators will alert anyone who is heavy on the brakes within the 2 year service intervals.

It's all in this doc.

I think you need to understand what is covered under this maintenance plan.
It will probably cover other consumable items that you would normally have to pay for. For example, brake pads and discs, tyres, windscreen wipers etc. These are all items that would outside of the standard service package but would be covered under a maintenance plan.

I take your point. However, over the life of the 3 year lease, the maintenance plan will cost around £1,000 mark and I'm guessing a total mileage of no more than 30,000 miles. I'm gambling that the consumables will be a lot less than that.

Ah, our situations are a little different then. I cover at least double your miles so go tyres etc a bit quicker.
Certainly sounds very expensive then.
