I wouldn't bother with the extended warranty. It's just an insurance policy to bump up profits for Allianz and another good commission earner for the dealer. Some people have had wins on them, but being an insurance policy and not genuine warranty it's designed for the house to win, and plenty of people have had wins outside warranty period for the big ticket items in any case via goodwill gesture from VW.
Given Allianz in SA refuse to insure modified vehicles (although some interstate people have managed this) I dare say they'd walk if you tried touching your car as well - a lot quicker than VW ever will.
The best pricing seems to be by the ex government insurers - NRMA, SGIC AND SGIO (Insurance Australia) and Suncorp - with very cheap premiums, full coverage, choice of repairer and modifications allowed = win. Always worth checking at renewal time as what's good this year may not be good next year.
