I took my a4 to the dealer for 40K service.

My windshield fluid tank was leaking. - Diagnosing=100$, + repairing= 100$
Left Fog Light was not working, Repairing it 200$ part need to fix is 12$ = a new bulb
They called me after the diagnoses, which means even if i don't want any repair i ll pay 200 for the diagnose. : )

 

Didn't 2006 models come with prepaid maintenance?
I didn't keep up-to-date after 2005.
Obviously not, based on your comments.
Bummer man

 

Oil change is free, the other check ups are also free, but part replacement+repairs cost money.

 

Why not covered under Audi warranty? (4 years/80,000km)

 

Warranty work at 40 K! Why is this not covered???? Even if you bought it used warranty is transferable.

 

Warranty is transferred, It s under my name. But they dont cover few things under warranty + I asked them to check the lowe fans, - checking it at the dealer cost me 50$ and they said nothing is wrong.

I asked it to the dealer, After 2006 They took the fog light out of warranty, and the reason is they need to take the whole bumper out of the way to replace a ****in fog bulb. Bulb is 12$ cost at the dealer of replacement is 200$

I can scan the invoice : )

here you go: check the invoice: Its still under warranty and charged for a repair.

ouch...

i'm guessing you were at pfaff... who was your service advisor?

 

That is absolutely ridiculous, the bulb replacement should be covered under warranty, regardless of what process is required to change it. It's not your fault that the A4's design necessitates the removal of the front bumper to replace a friggin bulb.
I would not accept that, you should escalate to Audi Canada.
Did you check your warranty book to validate the dealer's response?

 

I do my service @ Pfaff as well.. So far I don't have any problems at all.. They have replace the DV and fix my allingment for free...

 

I am going to call Audi Canada today and ask them about the fog lights. I live in Ottawa and the dealer is Mark Motors Audi/Porsche.


I got the info from Audi Canada: 1-800-FOR-AUDI (367-2834),
Fog Bulbs are under warranty for 12000 Miles or 12 months whichever occurs first.
