Was wondering which companies people have extended warranties with for there Audi's ?
Am just about to purchase one for my T Sport (1996) and am interested to hear any experiences etc good or bad.
Main ones I have seen have been via the Autotrader website - looked at RAC too but the cover i.e excesses and max claim cost seem pretty low.
Best one I have seen is from Warranty Direct - would welcome and feedback on the comprehensiveness of the parts covered /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
