    Audi paint warranty on rear bumper

    Hi, Your paintwork warranty is for 3 years only, the only warranty left on your car is the anti-perforation warranty (not anti-corrosion) which you'll never see, best off getting a decent local garage to sort it out,

    Anti-corrosion warranty results - Please post here

    You need to take the word 'warranty' out of your mind, none of the work discussed on this thread is Warranty work it's all 'Factory Goodwill' which is why people have a contribution towards the repair of 30%, once your car is over 3 years old the only bodywork warranty you have is a 12year...

    Anti-corrosion warranty results - Please post here

    Yes, you can get your car repaired at your local bodyshop and it does not affect your warranty. At all. Whilst this refers to servicing it is not applicable on bodywork, as soon as the claiming dealer checks the paint depths and they're elevated or there is obvious damage we're able to check...

    Rust on front wings

    Keep contesting it, get the guy to take some photos of somewhere else on the wheelarch where it's rusty but without any exterior damage, there'll definately be some as this problem affects ALL b6's due to a bad design of the underside of the wing. Audi are still definately paying for these on...

    Audi a3 tdi 2004 driver door not workin no central locking help!

    Try giving the wires that go between the post and door a wiggle to start with, if they're not plugged in properly this kinda thing happens, it's quite unusual for everthing in the same door to just die without doing anything elsewhere on the car

    If your gonna go through your insurance make sure you specify that you want an Audi approved repairer, that'll guarantee genuine parts are used,approved paint and it'll also not interfere with your 12 year anti-perforation warranty which if you go elsewhere will become invalid on the panels...

    Trim question - rear bumper

    This comes with the part, it's always been a pain in the **** to re-stick since they first came out, we always try to replace them but i've had mixed results using different types of double sided tape,glues and tried a set of number plate sticky pads which worked quite well. If you want it mint...

    bodies galvanized??

    It depends really on what the rust looks like, the way they designed the inner fold on the wing is a trap for mud,water,salt,general crap to gather behind which is what causes it to rust add that to stonechips etc and it's always gonna happen, if it looks like it's coming from the inside out...

    bodies galvanized??

    The panel will only be replaced if there is perforation but if it's starting to rust get yourself along and get the process started, we've got 2 in at the moment and a 52 plate A6 which has rusty gutters so theres plenty people still getting stuff done!

    bodies galvanized??

    They will do it if you moan on enough, in fact they will do almost anything if you moan on enough, they should be checking paint depths on the affected panels, if these are still original then you can argue with them as much as they want but they gotta pay, obviously if it's had paintwork by a...

    bodies galvanized??

    It just slows the process down , doesn't stop it, front wings are the only rust issues on B6's due to poor design on the ineer lip of the wing, if you have any visible rust there at all get yourself down to Audi as they're still repairing them under warranty

    Mudflaps

    i hate mudflaps, they collect so much dirt and moisture behind them i think it actually speeds up corrosion, the b6 is bad enough for rusty wings in my opinion.
