Now, the warrenty has been done for a year and the water stain has gotten bigger and darker everytime it rains. I took the car back to Audi yesterday, they have no record of doing a hose test over a year ago. I must have brought the car in for a final service and asked them to look into the leak, but they have no documentation of the "hose test". So, I was told, they would do a diagnosis of the problem and submit it to Audi to see if they will cover the problem under warrenty anyway. They took apart the inside panel and said that the tubing that runs from the sunroof is where the water it leaking from. They said that the tube is not blocked or punctured so the problem with the tube is age! I am not an expert but if the tube is not damaged or blocked, what does age have to do with anything. Could this be a faulty tube put in during construction? Has anyone else had this problem with an audi A4? My car was bought new in 2001, the leaking started about a year ago. Thanks, Brilla

My '01 A4 2.8Q has recurring stains on both back pillars. They are easily removed (washed) but they return after a series of rain events. I received something in the mail about this - maybe class-action suit or something. I'll check and resend.
