Fendt aircon warranty ?

[balerman]

My dealer replaced faulty spool couplers under warranty and another local dealer wouldn’t,sounds like they make things up to suit,one things for sure my dealer was excellent.

We always assume main dealers keep everything above board.I know different,things are pretty tight for all of them at the moment.I wouldn’t trust a main dealer any more than the guy that buys out of farm sales to sell on.Especially regarding engine emission equipment .Aircon has to be part of the warranty for me end of story.

Just to add,IF it’s a normal Fendt warranty.The extended warranty you buy afterwards is sometimes just an insurance policy to cover engine and transmission from expensive failures.

But, its been an on going problem, not a new one that,s just happened!!

Friends got a electrical problem with his Range Rover, drains battery on wet days.

He pays Land Rover £1400 per year to keep it under warranty.

Was told problems caused by rain aren't covered!

Thank goodness it is dry in Aberdeen most days.

Aircon deffo should be part of the standard manufacturers warranty and if be fairly sure will be. Not defending the dealer but something like an aircon leak could be a simple fix or a complete nightmare and very time consuming and the dealer will only get paid a certain amount of the manufacturer. Effectively your dealer is trying to avoid fixing it as it will likely cost them money to do it.

They should have been covering it
agco warranty usually excellent

It sounds like it need nitrogen pressure tested Clive as some are so small they don’t show up under normal circumstances

@Clive definitely this. Nitrogen with trace can be detected with a sniffer, it’s what all OEMs use.
These guys travel all over the country doing dealerships etc. Deal with them myself, very good. Tina: 01935 829550

You have put up with this for how many years???.. sorry, not sure i believe you.

I’m sure it was 1200 to extend my Valtra warranty up to 5000 hours 5k seems extortionate

It is a fendt.

Had a/c ,on our in warranty Valtra, checked by independent when here doing other vehicles. I had previously checked with dealer if it any issue was it OK to put right, they said yes.

Month later dealer called asking for a invoice for the cost. Was no issues so I covered the cost of the check.

no - we have

Sounds like you could have admitted that it may have been a damage issue rather than a warranty fault?

 

[Martyn]

it has been there from new, dealer knows this, tractor is still under warranty (10 days left so keen to sort this)

I would challenge your dealer, our fendt on full warranty for 8 years, had aircon leak all sorted, not seen a single bit of paperwork, like or warranty work.

 

[Moors Lad]

but I wouldn’t think it unreasonable to ask the dealer for a copy of warranty paperwork and get him to show you the bit that says the aircon (which is factory fit) isn’t covered.

Sounds like an idea!

 

[d williams]

i don’t care who fixes it, just trying to work out who should pay for it when its under warranty still

AGCO warranty usually very good go further up the chain of co

I’m assuming this 5 year warranty is an extension of the one year warranty by an insurance policy? It would have been covered in the first year as part of the manufacturers warranty, unfortunately if this extended warranty (insurance policy) states air con isn‘t covered, it ain’t covered. Had it been regassed by the dealer, then you may have been able to claim some goodwill saying it was there from new.

I fear you may have thrown your hand in by allowing a third party to work on it, if you believed it should have been warranty work?

Fendt warranty is not an insurance policy its a full manufactures warranty , the best there is , Clive is wrong on this one

Re-gassing aircon wouldn’t be classed as “work” I topped mine up,dealer sorted it at a later date.

I wouldn’t say Clive was wrong,more his dealer,your right about the best warranty though.

Shouldn't your complaint be with the ones who are just regassing the system but not sorting the leak? wish I could get away with doing a job like that, never be out of work.

Sorting a leak is major money, could be a days work and some expensive components, top up is cheap 15 min job and if it lasts a year or until Fendt decide they can repair it its the best option.

Many car places offer a gas top up.
