Anybody dealt with this company. The car I bought came with this warranty but I don't know whether to bother transferring it. I do most repairs myself and the car seems pretty good. The downside to transfer is that I have to get it serviced every 6 months somewhere where I usually do it myself and also pay 75 to transfer it.

Does anybody know what workshops they use around Sydney. You can get your car serviced by any workshop but for a repair it goes to one of theirs apparently.

Had a look in the booklet and the cover seems reasonable. Covers the engine aup to 2000 gearbox up to 1500 or something. I'm just wndering whehter they would pay for a 2nd hand box to go in if mine failed or something (not that I plan that to happen). Might have to call them and find out!

Thanks

Ben

If if the all star something or other i had on a used car once for some reason they exclude everything in the policy that can and does break.

If you work on the car yourself I'd read over it to see EXACTLY the parts they do cover.. otherwise good luck to you - i hope you won't need it.

I think you will find that most warranty groups only cover items that VERY rarely break.eg: they will cover you if you shatter a piston, but WON"T if you blow a head gasket.

Even if you blew the head gasket, then shattered a piston on the way to get it fixed they will tell you to bugger off.

Not worth the paper they are written on in my opinion. ESPECIALLY when you are saving money by servicing your car yourself, most workshops charge about $100 just to do an oil change.....add up the cost of that every 5000klms......over the next 50,000klms you just saved a hell of a lot of money (enough to cover a gearbox) Not to mention the cost of the warranty itself......depending on the coverage i think they START at $350.

Good luck with whatever option you choose.

I had a similar warranty for a VS Calais.

One of the solenoids in the Auto packed up, I got a new transmission.

I had to pay the difference between the cost of rebuilding the transmission getting a new one (couple of hundred) but that's it.

$75 aint sh1t in the scheme of things if your turbo pops, ans yes, they will cover it if it's stock boost.

    • The speedo's can be very conservative, when my Mazda NC MX5 speedo is showing 118kph, the GPS, and a calibrated radar.... cop mate.....hits me at around 110kph +/- 1 or 2 kph, and that is on a 215/45 17, stock tyres size is 205/45 17 as well, so weirdly conservative with stock tyre size When my Commodore speedo red 116kph GPS had me at 110kph After doing some offset and clearance measurements to see what can fit the NC on 17x8 +40, without guard rolling or rubbing anything at my current ride height, I've decided that when my tyres are toast, I'm going to fit 225/45 17 and see where that gets me IRT actual speed of my speedo and GPS/radar From the online calculator I should be still be doing around 5kph under an actual 110kph when the speedo is showing 110kph My ADHD requires that when I'm doing 110kph on the speedo, that the actual road speed is actually really close to that, and not alot slower And going from 205 to 225 still keeps the car within the %/mm allowable in the NSW vehicle rules and regulations, which is nice, as long as I'm looking at the latest version that is.....LOL https://www.nsw.gov.au/sites/default/files/2021-02/RMS-13.464-Light-vehicle-modifications-Vehicle-Standards-Information-No-6-November-2013.pdf
    • Take the value it measured as, and pick the closest range available that is above the reading on the screen.   Also, no point just testing the coils. Read what has been said again. You need to test all your wiring, everything.
    • Does the scanner do all the CUs in the car, or only the ECU?
    • @666DAN sorry to bring you and old thread.     I've got my de+t done and it's all running great other than 1 small issue.    Car has remained auto with the na auto and tcm, I've used a stagea ecu with. NIstune board and everything is great other than my gear selection on the dash. It illuminates park, reverse, neutral, 3rd and 2nd when selected . But nothing when in  drive or what gear your in when you pop it into tiptronic. I'm sure there is maybe 1 wire in the ecu plug I need to move to rectify this. Do ya have any ideas?     Cheers man
    • Well I recently changed my rear axles and was thinking if I bumped anything, I have been driving the car for a while now though... But it has been raining today so everything is wet under the wheel arches. Brakes feel fine and can't hear any of the metal screamers, I had a squeak coming from one of the handbrake drums but that seems to have gone away a while ago. I was going down a hill when it lit up and I did feel the abs bite for a second and question why it did it?
