Default So what exactly is a CPO warranty good for?

I have a 2002 S4 with 42k on it and the; wheel bolts, tie rod ends, and other various supsension pieces are rusted through. To the point that the car can't be alligned properly. Called up the locall dealer "those are wear items and not covered". Also my CV boots more then likely need replacement as the clicking has begun. THose are wear items also and aparently they are 675$ to replace. Well now I have to hope that my car was purchased after febuary so that I will still be under the original warranty, otherwise Wicked here I come

Default If the boots are intact and the CV joint is bad, it is covered, But...

boot failure (wear item) then leading to a bad joint is not.

Rust is a upkeep issue, not manufacturing flaw.

Sorry.

Default It's great for some things.

To date, it's fixed:

Various random belts & tensioners
Failing display unit
Rear view mirror
Leaky rear diff
Lumbar adjustor
Sunroof switch

It will also soon be fixing:

Cam shaft tensioner

But what you're talking about isn't covered. Take it to an independent mechanic like Wicked.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/s4/msgs/1901031.phtml">List of CPO covered items</a></li></ul>
