Cvt Failure

[FROSTYBALLS]

"And just a word to the wise if you have a CVT, extend your warranty......the cost of replacement.............are you ready for this........£5400"

The above was a quote from the original poster.

In the UK, Toyota GB offered the 5 year/100,000 mile warranty on new vehicles from June 2010.

As regards the UK Toyota Extended Warranty, the manual gearbox is mentioned in what is covered, but there is no mention of the MMT or CVT. See: http://www.toyota.co.uk/insurance-and-warranty/extended-warranty

...whilst the CVT is not discussed in the "What's not covered?The principal exclusions are:" list either.

As usual, scour the small print and then some - including a direct question to Toyota HQ.

I really think that the extra cost for extended warranty of 2 years, above the 3 years standard.. is a waste of money ... Not doing it again...

It is now in it's 4th year... and no problems...

The EGR problem was solved after the first 3 years..after a lot of letters with T.

Sooo why do it then..?
