In today's mail was a letter from AoA happily announcing the warranty extension to cover '05-'07 TFSI intake cam, follower, and HP puel pump repairs. The extension is to ten years or 120k miles.

The $2100 I shelled-out for these repairs on my '06 A3 was done at...............127k miles. Crap.

Hi acie!


Did you have any success trying to ask Audi for reimbursement on your oop expense?


I am now on the same ish at 127k miles on a recently bought 06 A3 2.0t. I took advise from a local Audi specialist to replace the cam follower as a preventive maintenance but lo and behold, when they opened her up the cam follower was already busted and did its damage to the camshaft and fuel pump. A whopping $1600 estimate!


I called another specialist in our area and was asked to call Audi as there was a warranty enhancement on the camshaft intake. I'm bringing her in on Thursday and I am hoping they'd still accommodate my A3 as a goodwill fix even though I am already at 127k miles. I've only had it for like 300 miles and bought it from the original owner.


It is my first Audi and hopefully (assuming they extend the warranty on my A3) it won't be the last.


Wish me luck guys!
