Since my car is out of warranty and see these scary £2500 bills for Open Sky and or gearboxes I'm starting wonder if I should get the Audi extended warranty. Has anyone done it? How much is it? Or is better to just get an RAC one or an independent one? Will an independent one cover the Open Sky?

Although my Audi is only a year old, based on my experience of a BMW 325i I had, the extended warranty paid for itself each year for 6 years out of 7. It was also transferrable to other private owners so an assett at sale time.

I have the extended Audi Warranty on my 4 year old A3 1.8TQ.

It was not cheap, but its pretty thourough in what it covers and there's the peace of mind factor. You should also have less problems in getting warranty issues sorted out if you plan to use an Audi dealer for servicing - thats been my experience anyway.
You can also pay an additional amount to get the Audi Roadside service, which I've been impressed with when I've had to use it.

Note that Audi have recently changedthe company who administers the scheme, and the cover is now pretty much the same as the original year 2 & 3 warranty.

From what I gather the premiums pretty much reflect the bills that you could incur.

Having been let down badly a few years ago by a 3rd party warranty who wouldn't pay out I have resolved to only use manufacturer schemes in future...so I am biased.

ive just paid £472 for a years extension on my audi a2 se to audi direct guarantee who offered it to me via a circular telling me my warranty was expired .this is a set ammount for 1600cc and under for 12months,I was not going to bother but another window motor has gone and my suspension has never been right from day one ,so i see it as the lesser of two evils as i do 26k ayear in it and i fear their is a lot worse to come.the cover is very extensive and you can find the whys and wherefores inthe T & c s on audi website .Roll on april 2005 when i can get shot of this pile of junk ,this car has not been a pleasurable experience,it is nothing more than a cosmetically enhanced
