Should I take out a new warranty policy for my three-year-old Audi A4 S Line?

I currently have an Audi A4 S Line diesel that will come to the end of its manufacturer’s 3-year warranty on 19 Sept 2011 with a mileage of 16,000. Do you think it would be wise to take further warranty protection with Audi or with any other company that you could suggest? It is my intention to keep the car for a further 2-3 years.

Yes, because if this has the 2.0-litre diesel engine there could be trouble with the drive to the oil pump. Warranty Direct is the best aftermarket warranty provider. You should compare its policies very carefully with those offered by your Audi dealer.
