So its getting to the point were our warranty is over with if we didn't purchase the extended warranty. Luckily for us we have the PZEV warranty that covered lots of parts as long as you are NOT tuned (Or they dont run a flash check on ECU).

MUST BE NOT TUNED, MUST NOT HAVE ANY MODIFICATIONS IN THE ENGINE BAY VISABLE (AIR INTAKE, DOWNPIPE, INLET PIPE, ECT) THEY WILL TRY AND VOID WARRANTY IF POSSIBLE.


3.23.2.3 15/150 PZEV/AT-PZEV CALIFORNIA EMISSIONS WARRANTIES TABLE
Some Volkswagen models may be specially equipped to meet California Partial Zero Emission
Vehicle (PZEV) or Advanced Technology Partial Zero Emissions Vehicles (AT-PZEV)

requirements, as identified on the Vehicle Emission Control Information Label located under the hood.
Additionally, PZEV/AT-PZEV models may be identified by checking the VIN for “Warranty Key” US9
(PZEV Coverage See Warranty Policy) in ElsaPro > Vehicle Data. The “Warranty Key” section
heading in ElsaPro only appears if a “Warranty Key” is attached to the VIN.
If a PZEV/AT-PZEV vehicle fails a Smog Check inspection, OR if any emission-related part is found to
be defective, the part will be repaired or replaced by Volkswagen for 15 years or 150,000 miles,
whichever occurs first, from the date the vehicle is delivered to either the original purchaser or the
original lessee; or if the vehicle is first placed in service as a "demonstrator" or "company" car, on the
date such vehicle is first placed in service. This represents the emission control system
PERFORMANCE WARRANTY and DEFECTS WARRANTY.
For these vehicles, Volkswagen of America, Inc., an operating unit of Volkswagen Group of America,
Inc. ("Volkswagen"), warrants to the original retail purchaser or original lessee and any subsequent
purchaser or lessee that every model year 2017 Volkswagen vehicle imported by Volkswagen and
certified for sale and registered in California:
Was designed, built and equipped so as to conform with all applicable requirements of the
California Air Resources Board (California ARB) and
Is free from defects in material and workmanship which cause the vehicle to fail to conform with
California ARB requirements, including any defect which would cause the vehicle’s onboard
malfunction indicator to illuminate, for 15 years/150,000 for PZEV/AT-PZEV models, whichever occurs first.

IMPORTANT: For High-Voltage batteries in Hybrid models equipped to meet AT-PZEV
requirements, the warranty term is 10 years or 150,000 miles, whichever occurs first.
WHEN THE WARRANTY PERIOD BEGINS
The warranty period begins on the date the vehicle is delivered to either the original retail purchaser or
the original lessee, or if the vehicle is first placed in service as a "demonstrator" or "company" car, on
the date such vehicle is first placed in service.
The following is a generic list of emission-related components which would be covered for 15 years or​

150,000 miles, whichever occurs first, for PZEV/AT-PZEV vehicles.

This is actually pretty interesting for us in California... though I doubt I will make it to 10 year or 150k mile without tuning!

I’d rather be tuned and have to pay $350 to replace something than drive a boring car

I wasn't aware of this until today... and it saved my butt on 2015 MK7 GTI. I had a check engine light and OBD11 was showing a number of intermittent errors, particularly around the intake manifold.

I brought it to the dealer and threw caution to the wind with the $199 out of warranty diagnostic fee. Turns out it was covered by the PZEV warranty. Bad sensor or something with the intake manifold. I was getting ready for $500+ worth of fun out taken out of my pocket and into the service department's hands. Instead, free!

The list of covered issues is quite extensive... so there's another reason to bring the car to the dealer for repairs.

My Intake Manifold - a job that costs somewhere around $1,000.00 - was replaced for no charge under the PZEV warranty within the past year.

I voided the Gti’s warranty almost immediately, but I could see where this would pay off big for someone keeping it stock.

Good find!
