This fault message has just popped up a few miles after starting. Accompanied by flashing coil symbol. Seem to be on reduced power now. Just out of warranty. Any money saving advice?

Slightly off topic, but my warranty runs out in October and I am considering (for the 1st time ever), to run without warranty. I've already had the transfer box swapped out, so thinking it was in 'safe' territory now? Having read this and having had various 'yellow' warnings before, I'm not sure if my nerves can take it? :D

My thinking was the core technology of the car should be rock solid Audi tried and tested. I suspect the electronic sensors etc could fail anytime. I also suspect a good Audi specialist could fix them at a fraction of the cost of warranty cover. It’s just so bloody inconvenient and scary.
