So my roof failed to close at the weekend and I had to manually close it ( what a palaver ) ! Anyway car has gone into dealership who have found an electrical fault with one of the motors that they think is causing the problem. They have said that the replacement will be covered by my 2 year extended warranty but they are asking me to pay for 4 hours of diagnostics at £624
I have questioned this as I cant see anywhere in the warranty booklet where it says diagnostics aren't covered.
Anyone had any similar experience or know the definitive answer ???
Car is 37 months old.
Are diagnostic costs covered by jaguar approved warranty ?

All warranty work i've had done has been completely covered... admittedly by the 3 year base warranty not extended warranty but wouldn't expect that to be any different.

Page 8 of Extended Warranty Claims
The Company will pay both parts and labour at warranty rate up to the sum equivalent to the purchase price of the vehicle
There should be zero cost or charges and refuse to pay. Jaguar should deal with this directly with the Jaguar Extended Warranty company.
Good luck.

Likewise - I've had a fair few claims (3 coolant leaks - pump / Y pipe / expansion tank), big end bearings (short block), etc.) under the Jag extended warranty, after the 2 year Approved Used one, and never once been asked to pay for diagnostic costs.

Thanks for all the replies. They have come back and confirmed that as there is a fault in one of the latch motors that will be replaced under warranty that the diagnostics will also be covered
Why did they have to stress me out like that though ?!?
Part on back order so they wanted to hold on to the car as the roof is completely dismantled. When I asked for a rough idea of how long the parts might take they admitted it " could be months " due to the covid pandemic. They are now in the process of reassembling the roof and delivering it back to me.
This experience really puts me off holding on to the car. I love it but seriously thinking of moving away from JLR now. Maybe a wee mx5 would be more fun !

Call their bluff - Ask for a detailed breakdown of the 4 hours and results form the diagnostics - That will stump them!Cool Hand Luke wrote: ↑Wed Jul 29, 2020 2:43 pm So my roof failed to close at the weekend and I had to manually close it ( what a palaver ) !

Don't part with a penny, it's your cheeky dealer trying it on I'm afraid.

Good news as the the latch motor is £307.43 inc VAT and they wanted £624 for the diagnostics !
