OPC Extended Warranty !

Considering the new OPC Extended Warranty, who is now thinking of giving it a miss? Bear in mind they may want you to spend 2-3 grand on things that may really not need doing, plus the 1450 quid!

I'm in the same position bullet proof GT3 engine (hoepfully) OPC warranty up in Dec worth seeing what comes from 111 point check then decide.....

I wouldn't consider running my car without a warranty. The engine is too expensive to repair, but 2.5k for a 2 year warranty is a bit eye watering. I'd go for the Hartech option, but am wrong side of the country. Would move to Camtune for warranty, but they exclude cylinder liners.

When you say 'new' extended warranty, have the terms changed recently? Is it still renewable up to the car's 9th birthday? - Sorry, just read the other thread... If it's true then what a shame, I guess this means no 111 point check possible as a pre purchase inspection?

Hi Sundeep, Just looking at the worst case scenario 10k for a new engine v £1450++ every year. In actual fact that makes it £8500 in the first year. That's if it can't be repaired for a lot less Hartech is the way I'm going. AA plus straight to them !! And don't forget this is the very worst case scenario. 2002 manual C2 (mint)

Hi Sundeep, May have missed something but the information I have recieved from my OPC is that any non standard component will render the warranty void. I was told that putting an Avic Sat Nav would render the new warranty void. So your manthey monster will certainly be exempt if this is correct. Bit of a bummer really. Regards Alan.

GD I really do agree with you if that's the case, but it's things they'll want you to get repaired just to get the warranty that puts me off. You Know what they are like !!!!!!!!!! By the way I have the old style warranty at the moment and swear by it ,but it's just maybe a bit much.

Alan, This is one of my points. Things will have to put right just to give them £1400 mark

Am I right in thinking the OPC warranty is now £1400 ish when I paid £900 or so last December!?

is it the most comprehensive warranty available - for that money you don't want any smart arse pointing out the small pribt should a claim be required :x my third party warranty is up in second week of jan so i'll need to decide in nextfew months, think i'll do the 111 point check first then hopefully they'll estimate what needs doing to get the warranty.

I've not spent anything like £1450 on repairs to mine in nearly 2 yrs. Also, you won't be able to use an indy for service or repair which rules it right out in my book. You will also have to pay to get the RMS fixed, which is almost certainly unecessary. If the engine blows (which really is an outside chance), you can fix it for around £6k and take the opportunity to have it bored out to 3.8L 8)

What are the definitely options available? Can somebody make a list of the warranty options that we can consider? starting at 1. for OPC 2. Tescos etc.(im not sure if Tescos will cover my TT - do they?) My OPC warranty runs out on 12 December and it needs a major service by 28th November. I am considering taking the car to Cardiff for the service, getting them to do that and nothing else then considering my options!! Would Porsche Cardiff fix anything that needed doing under the old warrantee bearing in mind it would have less than 2 weeks left before expiry? Or will they try and have my pants down? Am quite annoyed by the 50% price increase and I clearly see this as a means of Porsche trying to make more money!! Anyone got any bad things to say about Porsche Cardiff??

Tesco's did cover 911's initially and some have them on here but soon afterwards Tesco decided to exclude this model from the warranty. I think those who acted quickly will not be affected. ~ Maxie

Again the law of sod has applied to me!! Are there not any other warranties that will cover a 996 TT? Surely somebody out there wants to lose some money??
