Blew my turbos at 29,000 miles. At only $3K the extended saved me $12K in repairs. I'm sold!

Plugged oil screen.
In their wisdom the German engineers neglected to add a 'plugged screen' bypass. ONLY use Mobil 1, and change oil regularly. By the way the warranty extension was "First Automotive" sold by "North Bay" in East Windsor, CT. |

Deteriorated turbines??
After new turbines were installed on my 2015 A8L 4.0, I noticed a substantial INCREASE in acceleration when pushing it.
My gut tells me that the 'old' turbos had deteriorated before failure by a noticeable amount ( tip clearance ?). Has anyone else noticed this? |

I’m definitely on the fence in it. The less expensive warranty is inclusionary rather than exclusionary, so I don’t think I want to go that route. If not look into Plateu warranty check my last post they paid for everything with no hassle. So far they paid about $ 10k in warranty claims since ownership again no hassle. |
As I posted previously, my $3500 extended warranty covered EVERYTHING but a few little gaskets. Super job on the repair.
From now on, best oil changed at 5000 mile frequency. Good luck with yours. |
5K MILES oil change is the way to go Im sitting @ 116k miles. ouch car runs strong..
|
Good luck with the higher miles - keep us informed.

$6800 is a lot of money for extended warranty. that's a lot better than $16,000 in twin turbo replacement. |
