The dealers seem to be all over the place regarding their understanding of what is covered by the TDi warranty. Hopefully, AOA straightens them all out.

That IS interesting. My quote of the emmisions warranty coverage came from page 21.
I never ask for a loaner. Two extra Audis to drive. BUT, if I ever need a Q7 while ours is being repaired, this could come in handy.
I’d love to be a fly on the wall when you discuss this with the dealer.

I'm delaying the update not because I think it will ruin the car, but because I'll get warranty coverage to 160k.
I expect to need a dpf replacement during that time and the extended warranty seems to now cover that too whereas we were on the hook for it prescandal.
If you can wait, it seems quite beneficial to do so.

Spoke to AOA and the TDI center about weather the NOX sensor is covered, neither one could give a definitive answer. They kept saying that the dealer contacts Audi to see if it's covered and to get approval. Fidelity does not see any cross coverage under any other warranty and is going to cover the cost, they said that they would see it if it was covered by Audi. There is also clause that says "a 3.9.7 The Extended Emissions Warranty shall not supersede or void any
outstanding warranty. To the extent there is a conflict in any provision(s) of this warranty
and any outstanding warranty, that conflict shall be resolved to the benefit of the
consumer."
They are taking that to mean that if there is ANY other warranty in place that would cover that repair, even if you paid for a separate insurance plan, extended warranty, the other warranty supersedes the diesel repair extended one. Not sure how an insurance company would feel about that. So basically it's up to the dealer who is handling the claim, she gave an example of the fact that the block is covered but only the dealer can decide if it was the diesel repair that caused the problem. If anyone has found proof that the NOX sensor is covered please post it to the forum.....Didn't get to my dealer yet because I'm waiting for a call back from Audi.

NOX is a byproduct of lean combustion which his common for diesel engines at low loading (e.g. idle). NOX is only produced as a result of combustion. NOX emissions are the reason that Audi has the dieselgate scandal. NOX sensor(s) is/are in the exhaust stream and is/are a primary feedback loop for DEF usage in the exhaust. Does Audi really not have a list of "emissions control systems" that are covered? Amazeballs.
