So, They have no choice under Audi approved to give you 12 months, and as you have less than 12 months left on that car, they would have to give you the 12 on top of whats remaining regardless. An additional year is only possible if you finance through them - and - the offer is on at the time. You can always take the finance, and pay it off before 14 days. I believe this leaves the 2nd year warranty in tact. However, I'd need some serious convincing that missing its first Main dealer service wouldn't give you major hassle further down the line with warranty claims and future resale...... I think by law, they can't dictate that the service must be done at Audi to make the warranty valid, but they can insist on proof that genuine parts and the correct procedures were used. Sounds like a load of hassle to me tbh.

If it were an older car, that was traded in under extended warranty for example, I think they can cash the balance of that in, then give you a fresh 12, but they can't remove the factory warranty, so would have to put you a full extra 12 on....

Audi Approved is a joke at best, I think the term "Approved" applies to the ridiculous PCP deals they try and flog
They were not happy that I brought a set of vernier calipers to collect my last one, especially as all of the brake disks were so lipped they were below minimums. When I pointed this out to the service manager, he told me that they only needed to do a visual inspection, that they had done so and it had passed. I told them to replace, or keep the car.... they relented! Disks and pads all round on a Q7 at dealer prices was over £2k, as it wasn't 3 years old it didn't even qualify for fixed price which would have brought it down to £1600 Caveat emptor |

Warranty is from date of purchase..... I got 2 years (took PCP, which lasted ~14 hours), but it was from date of purchase, not balance of factory plus 2 years.
The "Approved Used" warranty isn't as good as factory either, dealers have to jump though approval hoops and it isn't "bumper to bumper". I told them I wanted 2 years as I'd seen it on the Audi website, they agreed and it was done..... I then realised the offer had ended the month before, so they can do it at any time I think, suspect it costs them though |

Hmm, that is interesting we are about to come to the end of our 3 year business lease on a Q7 etron and have been considering the options; one of which was to buy the vehicle at what appeared to be a fairly reasonable price (30k). After speaking to a local dealer he advised that some big 'spends' may be on the way, specifically the c. £1700 parts bill for the brake discs and pads. On the plus side the original set have lasted in excess of 75000 miles and tyres have been lasting in excess of 37000 miles.
Seems a long time since I used to buy a full set of Audi brake discs/pads on an A6 for £250!

Used warranty is definitely from date of purchase, not tacked on to the end of the manufacturer warranty, it's one or the other, not both consecutively.
I think I'd prefer 9 months manufacturer, then extend at cost, rather than 12 months approved used insurance warranty |

sarg said ,, I think I'd prefer 9 months manufacturer, then extend at cost, rather than 12 months approved used insurance warranty ?????????
well sarg ive been told by a friend its with AVIVA im not happy now and yes i agree now just leave the 9 months on they have not called me back so havent found the invoice for first service as i asked Who,When,Mileage (this car was over 60k new and has probably been to Halfords) 27,700 miles if id bought that new it would be on its 3rd oil change or even more IVE READ A FEW REVIEWS HERES ONE I recently purchased a second hand A6 Allroad from Ipswich Audi. Despite the alleged 149 point check, 7 days and 500 miles later the rear tyre that I had pointed out was borderline is now illegal as the outer edge is without tread. I took photos but they're not interested. I bought 2 new tyres and had 4 wheel alignment done which showed the reason the rear had worn badly... tracking miles out. Ipswich Audi just say it was legal at the time and not interested. 300 miles later Adblue warning comes on again apparently checked although the check sheet they gave me is not signed so who knows who if anyone did any checks. Contact Audi Uk, they go along with the dealer who says all checks were carried out and lies re the unsigned check sheet despite the fact that I have sent a photo of it. I cannot believe that I have been so badly treated by a prestige brand main dealer, poor service, dishonest and disinterested once your cash is in their account. I would not buy from them again under any circumstances. i recon im gonna leave it and just keep what ive got and know
