Don't think mentioned here, but worth noting that the 1st 2 years of a new car warranty are covered by Audi Germany, the 3rd year falls to Audi in the UK to cover the costs/cover.....
I'd expect a warranty claim in the 3rd year to be almost as much of a pain in the arse as extended warranty
Aside from warranty, you then get into 'good will' which dealers have more leeway to authorise without referral to Audi UK than they used to (i.e. they have a budget for good will which they'll use on customers they've seen before for work they know should be covered). I had the instrument cluster on the S5 replaced via this method, beyond the warranty cover.
