The dealership? They may even replace it under extended warrenty if under 70k miles...
At least they sometimes do that here. If not, I thought they were only about $140 or so from the dealer.

When did you receive this letter?
When did you receive this letter? I don't recall getting one..Is there a reference number on the letter that I can use so that my dealer believes me about this extension. They "seem" to have no idea what A of A's latest releases are.

I read it on an Audi forum in 2004 and saved a copy
I believe the letter was dated around Q1-2003, which was before I got my S4. See Kep's posting above for his success.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/rockymtn/msgs/63881.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/rockymtn/msgs/63881.phtml</a</li></ul>
