YEAR AND VEHICLE MODEL: 2001 S3 65k
DETAILS OF RUST FOUND: Bubbling on both roof rails, drivers wing, bottom half of both doors and rear 1/4 panels
TIME TO WARRANTY CLAIM FROM FIRST NOTICING IT: 3 days
HOW LONG YOU HAD OWNED THE VEHICLE AT THIS TIME: 9 months
DEALER APPROACHED: Highland Audi on 24.06.10
OUTCOME (APPROVED, REFUSED), REASON FOR REFUSAL: awaiting outcome.
Paint thickness tests taken and all show original paint so the bodyshop manager felt it was a strong case. Car has F.A.S.H also so fingers crossed.
Audi have offered to repair all the rust as a good will gesture if i pay 30%.
Have since sold the car but the new owner is happy to pay this.
Could be worse i suppose as i thought they were going to say it had been there too long.
