@Acm, it would be good if you could produce something from VAG to support this bit:
We’re talking ladder chassis vehicles here. So you need to go to the commercial section of VW, not the passenger vehicle section. That is where you will find the old Amarok and the coming new one. I’ve just read the VW commercial vehicles warranty page, and cannot find anything that says 15 year chassis warranty. In fact, what it does say under exclusions is:
Volkswagen Van Warranty | VW Vans
“Damage caused by industrial pollution, climate, external heat, chemicals or mechanical force. Your Owner’s Instruction Manual tells you how to minimise such damage.”
In some markets - including the UK - there is a 12 years/unlimited kms corrosion perforation warranty on the body. (A vehicle
body is different to a vehicle
chassis.) Here’s the important bit:
“Your new vehicle is manufactured with full protection against rust attacking the internal cavities from the inside to the outside leading to perforation and will be covered for 12 years starting from the date of first delivery.
Some Amaroks are covered for six years.”
The Amarok is the only vehicle VW Audi make that is comparable to the Hilux.
So will be interesting to know where the 15 years chassis warranty came from please mate.
