It's not covered by a Subaru UK warranty though is it?!!

It's covered by a Pan European Warranty, Subaru UK (in this case International Motors) will act on whichever countrys authority to carry out repairs and claim their monies back from them. They can't do that if Malta or Cyprus or whoever don't understand who Prodrive are and why they've re-mapped their ECU which they don't endorse.

 

PPP is a warranty'd part... with it's own warranty so to speek, if the car goes wrong due to a direct fault of the PPP then the car is covered by IM's warranty surely? As for "not developed for that car" well Subaru have tried that argument before and lost.

The Euro car is covered by a warranty that is accepted by IM... so.... how in gods name can a part supplied and fitted by IM, to a car with a warranty accepted by IM, be at the end of it all, not warrantied by them?

And if they prove the fault was not caused by the PPP? then the Pan European warranty will cover it.... as I said before, any Barrister worth his salt would rip IM (Or Subaru) apart on this one.
I'm sorry, but I just would not accept it.

That being said I'd not have a PPP anyway.

 

Interesting arguement and I accept your point, but looking at it from another angle, if the tuning arm of a reccommended lets say Maltese company fitted a new ECU and exhaust to a customers UK vehicle which caused the engine to go bang, do you think Subaru UK would provide the customer with a new engine or do you think they would say we don't know this company, are not associated and do not endorse their product, we also do not know what they've done.

As I said earlier, the warranty repairs on cars under a pan-european warranty are carried out by Subaru UK but the monies claimed back from Subaru Europe, this is why in certain circumstances a UK dealer will not carry out repairs until permission granted from the supplying country so if a claim is refused they will not be out of pocket.

 

How does the Insurance go on these Euro import top spec cars?

Dearer / cheaper than UK, or more like a JDM import and harder to get cover and more expensive?

Thanks
