Default Audi corrosion warranty

I was out polishing my beloved A6 at the weekend when I noticed a a small rust spot on the rear side panel (about 6 inched from fuel filler).

I cant see any signs of a stone chip as the paint is undisturbed and there's no sign of a dent.

This is my 1st Audi so I'm unsure what their policy is on rust - Can I get them to sort and provide a loan car under the corrosion warranty?
The car was registered in Dec 2000.
Cheers

Default Read your warranty booklet...

The wording of the corrosion portion is specific.
But if its covered then the loaner, like all audi work is up to the discretion of the dealer. Good Luck

IIRC the corrosion warranty talks about rusting through. As Paul said, check the manual.
