Hi Guys, i found the painting which wraps the under chassis boundary pipes broken on my only 1-mth old audi A4. Im novice car owner and not sure this is normal or should i do something about it? Thanks.

Looks like someone used the wrong jack to lift the car.

Have you been picking at it?

this also has happened to me as well. I used a normal jack that did have rubber of the tip of where it raises and it stilled made the paint peel.

which jack would prevent this from happening????

Take it to your dealer, let them sort it out. It's a warranty job unless you were mucking about with it, or someone else mucked it up.

I checked mine this afternoon and have some separation there too. Not too bad though. I’ll probably end up cleaning the area really well and then seal it with similar material to rhino lining.

If mine was doing that, which it isn't I'd want to find out why.. If it's a stress fracture I'd be concerned. If it's from a sloppy Tech I'd want the dealer to note it and fix it.
