1 year manufactures then 2-year dealership, only if you have maintained the servicing schedule.
3 years total.

Does it have to be the same dealership where the car was originally bought, as I'll be moving soon, and is it transferable? (I didnt buy the car new)

Nope, any dealership in the UK will qualify the warranty for you.

Thanks for your answers so far des_pd_ tdi, but can you confirm that its transferable, and what does TD on a PDI engine stand for?
Thanks

Sorry I knew that, what I meant to say was "what does PD on a TDI engine stand for?"

ok ive had a little ponder and its for "piefen diecher" or somthing to that effect which is the same thing as hp
nearly cos 1 hp = .98 pd because apparently german horses arnt that strong

PD is 'Pumpe düse".
The high-pressure diesel pumps in newer TDI engines.

Have a look in this weeks Autocar as they have a page on PD tech and even compare to common rail engines used by BMW.
It appears common rail are better than PD with less noise.

better can mean any one of a million things
vw wouldnt have developed the technology if they didnt think there was an advantage to it, just as with any thing

Or,
VW didn't feel like buying Fiat's Common Rail system and preferred their own way of doing things.
Düse means spray nozzle ('verstuiver' in Dutch) by the way, IIRC.
