Extending warranty?

You’re a mind reader, Rab!

I imagine “long-term” may not be so much of an issue for many forum members, …..Wing Co , (we’ve just swapped our 18.5-year-old from new Golf), so I’m thinking it could be worthwhile aligning the servicing and warranty renewals/inspections.

Porsche UK published the 111 point check required to take out a Porsche Approved Warranty is included in Fixed Price Servicing.

We will probably take a 1 year extended warranty at our 2-year service. Together with the remaining 1-year manufacturing warranty, we are covered up until the major service @ 4 years. From then on 2-year warranty renewals align with 2-year servicing dates and inspections will be included in the service,

This obviously only works for cars being serviced on a time basis rather than a mileage basis, ours will only have 5k miles at it's 2-year service in Jan 19.

Porsche says "The 111 point check required to take out a Porsche Approved Warranty is included in Fixed Price Servicing
at £217* for all Porsche models."

I think this means that the price of £217 is part of the Fixed Price Servicing scheme and not that the 111 point check is included in a service for free.

But I could be wrong...

I agree, Giz9.

The cost of the 111 point check is part of the fixed price scheme (at £217) and not that it comes free with a service!

Obviously, OPCs have discretion to waive the fee for the 111 point check, for favoured customers, bearing in mind that a warranty no doubt includes a juicy bonus or recognition of some kind for the OPC that sells it.
