Powertrain warranty question

[Marc Gore]

Hey everyone newbie here hoping you guys can assist me. My daughter’s 2016 Volkswagen Jetta is in the shop with two leaks: the rear main seal and the timing cover. They dealer is telling me this is a $3,100 repair and neither of these are covered by the Powertrain Warranty since these are considered seals and not main components. What do you guys think? I honestly thought since the engine and transmission are considered the powertrain these would be covered. Thanks!

You need to read the warranty carefully ( and the fine print ) to see what is included and what is excluded.
It may be VW is considering only actual mechanical in their power train waranty,
IE. engine block, heads, internal rotational components etc …
