I own a 99 New Beetle, with 80,000 mi. Last week the catalytic converter went. In 2005 I received a letter from VWoA that the warranty on the converter would be extended due to possible failure to 10 years or 120,000 mi, whichever came first. No recall, just a letter for if and when the converter failed. Now, the dealer wont honor it as it is beyond the 10 year extension. I talked to VWoA and they also denied it. Seems to me a catalytic converter with a known defect should be replaced, period. I'm well within the mileage. I bought the car brand new, I'm the original owner.
Any suggestions? I don't think I should have to repair this myself. |

You hit 10 years. It was an extended warranty, not a recall so they don't have to replace it. I had mine fail earlier this year as well, at 91k. But my car is also a '99.
It was less than $200 to replace.
