Should I extend the warranty on my Audi A1?
I'm fast approaching the 60,000 mile mark on my 2011 Audi A1 1.4 TFSI. I'm averaging about 22,000 miles a year and I've been on the Audi service plan. When I hit 60,000 miles my warranty expires, so I'm considering extending it for a year. For my mileage though it comes up to about £500.
Adding an excess drops this and so does mileage under 15000 a year, I'm hopefully moving much closer to work within the year which would halve my mileage. I've also just noticed a difference between comprehensive components and named components (which is cheaper). Is it worth the cost reduction for the sake of 20% and reduced cover or should I just pay for full cover?

If this is the pre EA211 chain-cam 1.4TFSI and has been on Longlife servicing then you need all the warranty you can get. Really needed and continues to need an oil and filter change very 12 months or every 10,000 miles whichever comes first and whatever the dealer tells you.
