Default TDI Goodwill Package

My package arrived today, March 4. However, the cards included in the package are good through January 2017; in other words, not the 1 yr promised on the website. Follows is the quote from the website:

When do the cards expire?

Both cards expire one year after the date of card issuance. Please note that the issuance date is when the card is sent, not the date when it is activated at a participating Audi dealership. For this reason, we encourage you to activate your Audi TDI Goodwill Package as soon as possible after receipt. For additional information please visit https://www.audiusa.com/diesel or call the Audi Customer Experience Center at 1-800-822-2834.
Go to a Service Adviser to activate the cards. They know what needs to be done.

Sales manager in the front showroom didn't have a clue; and told me that I needed to call to make an appointment for a vehicle inspection before I could activate the program.

Also interesting is that the package I received in the mail is for the A3 2.0 TDI. It did, however, appear to activate my 3.0 TDI Q7 properly. I guess I'll find out for sure when I try to buy something with the VISA card or the Audi Dealer card, and/or if I call for roadside assistance.

I received the same A3 2.0 TDI package yesterday. It does show the correct VIN for my Q7 TDI though. Very confusing and unprofessional IMHO. I will have it activated when I bring in the car for its next service.

I'm concerned how useful the warranty extension and roadside assistance will be if it all refers to the A3 TDI.

Is there a warranty extension? I thought only Porsche offered that on their Cayenne TDI.

I was assured by the Audicare Customer Service Rep that the Roadside Assistance is based on VIN; and my VIN shows as registered in the program.

You are right. No extended warranty but 3 years of roadside assistance. Maybe the warranty extension comes with a financial settlement later.

Not holding my breath. My sense is that the compensation for value deterioration and increased fuel consumption for our cars will pretty much go to pay the lawyers.
