BMW Warranty

[derek]

Hi,
I just got a bill from BMW for a battery replacement i thought it was being done under warranty. Anyone had a battery replaced under warranty. I had the battery replaced a couple of years ago and im sure I didnt pay for it.

Dont think the battery is under warranty mate,unless its an AUC warranty when you first buy the car from a dealer.

How much have they hit you for Derek?

£300 going to dealers tomorrow as i work away during the week. I knew the battery was not holding charge but got charged £100 to be took that.

IIRC, the battery is not covered on warranty.

But, it is supposed to be a component that lasts the lifetime of the vehicle if used correctly and i would imagine that some goodwill replacements have occurred in the past for those that have failed...

Just to add i had my battery changed at christmas under warranty and went back 2 months later and they tried to charge me for it then,fook off seemed to clear that one up bless um!

No chance is battery covered. Had alternator fail earlier this year - this covered but battery not. Despite getting hammered on battery price by stealer, I think it is unreasonable to expect this under warranty.

My Alternator failed and they changed that and the battery under warranty :thumbs:

I told them that the battery had failed because of the Alternator failing and they were fine with that.

Another good example of consistancy across the dealer network :bigcry:

Thats a good result Stu :beer:......I thought it was specifically mentioned in the booklet as not being covered.

**Kinell! £300 for a battery! Mine lost charge at Christmas when I couldn't get it out the garage for 3 weeks. BMW Assist charged it and initially said it would be replaced under warranty if it didn't hold a charge. It did hold charge and all was well until April when it died completely. Cost £100. Queried the charge given previous guy's comment although suspected not covered (per the policy wording) which was confirmed by Mondial...
