Warranty

Please forgive me if I sound totally stupid here, but bear with me on something I've been thinking about for a while.

Consider this:

1. I buy a car from a UK Audi dealer. I get the 2 year factory warranty plus another year supplied by the dealer giving me 3 years warranty.

2. I live in Germany and buy a car from an Audi dealer. I get the standard 2 year factory warranty plus another year supplied by the dealer giving me 3 years warranty.

3. I live in the UK, but buy a car from a German Audi dealer. I get the standard 2 year factory warranty which can be used anywhere in Europe, but do I also get the extra year of warranty supplied by the dealer, or do I lose this as soon as the car leaves Germany?

My question being that if I get outside the 2 year warranty (it was only 1 year when I got mine) and something catastrophic happens (gearbox or engine failure or similar expensive item), then would I be able to put the car on a trailer and take it back to the dealer in Germany who supplied the car or would I have to be ripped off by my UK dealer?

Thanks for the replies.

Luckily nothing catastrophic has failed on my car. Just one of those thoughts that comes into your head after a few pints /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/beerchug.gif

However, I had 2 ignition coils fail when my car was less than one week out of warranty. Audi wouldn't do them as a goodwill gesture, so I ended up paying about £180 for something now accepted as being Audi's fault.

How would I go about claiming this back from Audi? My dealer is pretty useless and thinks I should contact Audi directly. I suspect that if I write them a letter it will go straight in the bin.
