The powertrain warranty on a new Volkswagen protects the heart of your vehicle-the engine, transmission, drivetrain, and related components. These are the parts that make your car run, and this coverage ensures you're protected if something goes wrong with them.

Powertrain coverage is one of the strongest parts of the factory warranty because these systems are critical to your driving experience. The specific years and miles covered depend on your vehicle and warranty terms. Your Volkswagen documentation will detail the exact limits. If you have questions about your powertrain coverage or want to review what applies to a specific model you're considering, call us at (630) 598-9986.
