Audi manufacturer's warranty is about to run out. Just phoned Audi to get quotes to extend their warranty for a further 12 months. Once I picked myself back up off the floor I thought Id post on here to see if anyone can suggest an alternative to the Audi one?

I suppose I could go down the AA warranty route as I've been a member for donkey's years and have their breakdown parts and labour for the Cerb, but wanted to see what the great unwashed (yes, you lot hehe) recommend?

TIA smile

£857 for unlimited mileage and £689 for up to 15k miles pa (both including breakdown cover, which I have via the AA anyway. I can probably 'just' get away with the 15k one as I use the Cerb too)

I hate paying for things I dont need, but bet yer life if I dont extend the warranty I'll regret it.

Still, £850 pays for a lot of blown bulbs scratchchin

Doesn't go far towards a gearbox though!

Mine's a 2.0T. The chap from Audi asked engine size so I guess that's relevant.
