Audi Paint Warranty

[A6Avant]

I was washing the car last night and i noticed some lacquer peeling just below the roof rails on the passenger side. I remember reading in here some time back that Audi have a paint warranty. Does anyone know if something like this would be covered?

 

[Coog]

Should be. Book in with Agnew's and have them assess it.

 

[Boydie]

12 years but will require assessment for paint depth at Agnews repair centre in Boucher - go there and not Audi on Sydnam.

Paint warranty is only 3 years, the corrosion/perforation warranty is 12 years, but Audi's warranty is completely worthless. In saying that though you might get lucky with good will from your dealer.

It's quite rare to see clear coat fail that way on manufacturers paintwork, 90% of the time it is something that has been repainted. Worth pursuing but they will assess it for refinishing as part of the inspection

Yes it is only 3 years as my golf is in tomorrow for warranty work and I thought it was 5 years but told no.

If it’s never been painted ,never been polished or never been washed then you might stand a tiny chance of getting that sorted .technically yes you should if the car is 100 % clean from previous damage

Probably less hassle just to pay someone local to paint front wing for £150

It’s worth taking it down and asking the question.

Do you just go to any vw dealer ?

 

[Coog]

No, book in with Agnew's body shop. I've had a few cars repaired now.

Go with a clean, well presented car, FSH, no previous damage and a decent attitude and they'll do their best for you.

They submit the claim on your behalf and get the work, so are incentivised to get approval, but they're not going to waste their time.

Thanks will give them a ring tomorrow . Full FSH might be a problem tho

 

[Coog]

They probably won't entertain it unless there's a FSH. Doesn't need to be dealer SH but still needs to have a fully stamped book. They send a scanned copy along with the claim.

I got two new wings done Foc on a 2012 a4 .only last year .

That wing will need replaced or it will be back in no time. As for warranty I have been going round in circles trying to get Audi to sort my rusty A4. They keep telling me it's a paint problem.

You are probably right, but legally there is nowhere in the Audi T&C that it needs to have have FSH or regular inspections. I know it's different with other manufacturers.

Looks previously painted to me.

I've no idea all I know is that they scanned the book each time and went through all the stamps. Didn't need to have paint inspections done or anything like that though.

I would say the claim would be rejected and they'll claim it was caused by stone chips.
