An update on this!

Spoke to Fiat dealership today AND Fiat are now re-offering the 4th and 5th year warranty on the Ulysse - BUT he doesn't know how long for...

So he is getting me a quote on Monday [will include the full AA package as well], and I reckon I will extend it now if the price is right (y)

Anyone got an old price list that showed the cost of this extension originally?
 
Let me know as I would be keen too, I think it used to be about £450 for the 2 years.
 
Seems a lot and I don't think they will cover a lot of the engine parts as I have LPG now.

Hope the LPG doesn't stop working in the cold, apparently it doesn't vapourise well in the cold. Might have to get Paul to check into it.
 
Re: warranty and Paul vs Poggy on 'proper' degrees ;)

I am not surprised they are not offering AA cover, as Fiat now only offer AA cover for the first year, this was done in the summer just as I bought mine! :(

I know - the most annoying thing is, I wanted to buy this when I signed on the dotted line, but the salesman said 'ah, no need to worry about that, you can buy it at the end of the 3rd year' :bang:

I will need to look at the link Andy put up above, and compare the plans.

Stuart is that for a 4th & 5th year to manufacturers level or dealer warranty cover level?

Poggy did you go with Warranty works?

Cheers

The Fiat one is dealer level, I haven't gone with warranty works as I still have 11 months of Fiat.

The advantage of the Warranty Works one is that the highest warranty gives you three years for price of two and it also includes the RT3 sat nav as long as you tell them at start of policy that it is factory fitted.

I would have thought it would be dealer level BUT I am sure he said manufacturers warranty extension :chin: I will be seeing the manager next Tuesday, so will.

Bit of an old thread I know, but the Ulysse is going in for the 3rd year service and first MOT on the 31st.

This means that the warranty expires on the 1st - has anybody got any new advice OR not? I will question them again about the original quoted price, or even if they are still offering it.

I will get a price today on the Warranty Works one, as a guide.

I read a bit more about the claim limit of £2500:
Q What are these claim limits on each warranty?
A This is the maximum amount that a single claim can be. But the total amount for all your claims added together can be up to the value of the vehicle.

The important thing to check is "consequencial damage". Alot of warranties cover the component that fails but do not cover any damage caused by that failure.
Also the list of exclusions seems very long, the bearing definition of being faulty means wheel bearings being noisey wouldnt be covered.

Another thing to find out is that aloy of these warrantys have a maximum labour rate, for instance if their rate is £35 an hour, and the garage charges £60 an hour then you have to pay the difference.
Personally Stu this warranty looks so full of holes I wouldnt bother with it.
