    Ok so started making some enquiries about getting an extended warranty. First dealer tells me that on 1 October this year, VW unilaterally decided to start offering a 3 year, 60,000 extended warranty in lieu of the previous 2 year one (still through Allianz) and that they imposed a 25% price...
