    Question UK Warranty extention

    Hi All
    Have any UK owners extended their warranties yet? Did you go with Audi or through a third party?
    All help appreciated, thanks guys

    Re: UK Warranty extention

    Hi.
    I took out an additional 2 years in April. It was bought through my local dealer, but is actually run by the AA. All paperwork is Audi branded though.
    It worked out at a third of the price of the Audi warranty........!

    I've not needed to use it as yet, but that will be the time to really learn about what I've bought!

    Let's hope we don't need to use it, mine's been reliable so far, fingers crossed

    Most of mine has been replaced in the 2 years I've owned it... Never any issues about the work being done though. Except the clutch, that took a call to the R8 customer service dept. But they did replace it FOC.

    OK so spoke to my dealer I use, in Worcester, and they have not heard of the AA plan. They offer their own versions but unsure on that.

    Which garage did you use to arrange it? Thanks

    I use Portsmouth Audi.
    Now I think about it, it might not be the AA that runs the warranty (I have a similar product on my A4), but essentially it is all badged as Audi. And it gives the same coverage for one third the cost of the actual Audi product. The only real difference is how hard the dealership have to work to get the repairs approved... apparently.
