Audi Letter extending warranty for 2009-2012 3.2 and 2009-2013 3.0T engines
Anyone else get this in the mail today? Extends warranty for 10 years or 120,000 miles. Nice of them to do it voluntarily. Came with a voucher for reimbursement as well (though my 3.2 hasn't needed the service -diagnose and clean the secondary air ports - yet).
Yeah!
Yeah!

Carbon build up. See...
https://www.audiworld.com/forums/sho....php?t=2817781
From the letter:
"Audi has determined that, under certain driving conditions, carbon buildup can occur in the engine cylinder head secondary air ports.
...
In our continuing efforts to assure proper performance of Audi vehicles, your dealer will diagnose and, if necessary, clean the engine cylinder head secondary air ports to remove the carbon buildup at no cost to you as long as the vehicle remains within the time and mileage limits of this warranty extension.
...
This warranty extension covers only the diagnosis and cleaning of the engine cylinder head secondary air ports to remove carbon buildup. And should you ever sell the vehicle, this warranty extension is fully transferable to subsequent owners."

And for those who have paid for removing the carbon build up already...

I wonder if this means the problem was fixed for the 2014 3.0T's. I doubt it, but they will probably extend that warranty in a few years since it's the current model year and extending the warranty on a new car may hurt sales.
