I'm surprised you had to pay $85...

What was that $85 all about?

What kind of Certified Preowned makes you pay a deductible?

Good stuff. Is your car in the shop now? If so, did they give you a loaner?

Yea that's what I thought too...Seemed little weird to pay for covered under warranty, but I guess Audi does that, since OP had to pay deductible.

Default Audi's does, and they have been raising it too...

depending on the CPO year, the $ amount has been increasing. Number of items submitted doesn't matter apparently, it's a per (new) visit charge.

On both a prior Toyota and a prior Ford, they had a similar concept of a pay per (new) visit during the extended warranty period, if the customer purchased it.

It's Audi CPO. I said the same thing when I saw the wording about a deductible (in the fine print) when getting my CPO paperwork. And yes, it is a per visit deductible. I usually wait until several things are "broken" before I take it in, but this one I couldn't ignore. So, it cost me $85.

I got a 2011 Q7 TDI as a loaner. They had the car for 4 days (dropped it off Friday after 5 and then they had to overnight the pump Monday and had it ready at the end of day Tuesday).

Two things:

What were the symptoms that brought the pump failure to your attention?

How (as a S8 driver) do you like the Q7 TDI? I am thinking about getting one.
