Default dealer has to interpret what audi of america will or wont pay for
dealer has to front the $$$ for repairs on faith that aoa will pay them back. Audi has been getting very tricky with the seals and leaks lately.

Default yeah- I bet a lot of people are developing leaks due to the switch to synthetic...
with all the oil sludge issues popping up and the mandated switch to synthetic, everyone's seals are leaking as the crap gets flushed out.

Default Have to love that logic, You mean the problem is a result of our recommendation?
Yeah, so that's not going to be covered.

Default It's a win-win for AoA...
no more paying for busted heads due to failing oil pumps, charge more for synthetic oil changes, and not covering the leaks that develop due to the switch- it's a great business decision!
