My transmission is messed up and Vw is saying they can't cover it. Shouldn't the warranty cover it?hammauda_omar - 2012 Volkswagen GTI - Transmissions & Drivetrains - 4/29/2013They say that the front wheels were spinning and not the back, assuming that I was drifting when I wasn't because I'm 18 so they won't cover it.

4/29/2013 JimmCheck the warranty details as well as get a written and detailed description from the dealership concerning the diagnosis / damage noted for the transmission - as the first steps. Once you have the warranty coverage details as well as the dealership description of the transmission condition - only then can you begin to have any case as to whether of not the transmission might / or should be covered. Also, if there are any service records - showing where the transmission fluid / filter or any previous service was perfromed (at the dealership or outside repair garages) this may also help your case.
You may also have to contact the Volkswagen organization above the dealership level.

4/2/2013 iankarokiThere is always a danger in tuning an engine without the right expertise behind it. The first thing you need to consider when replacing a motorcycle exhaust system is its design. It has to fit and attach to your motorcycle properly and easily. It is not supposed to exceed the capabilities of the previous stock exhaust system. The aftermarket system should also suit the bike’s physical and technical specifications. If you need any more advice you can visit Motorcycle Exhausts and talk to the experts.
