A while back i took my air box out to remove the lambda or sommat and noticed the inner wing was rusting right next to the turbo just in front of where the heat sheild finishes! So, like you do i prodded it with my finger which put a 2" fooking hole in my inner wing! Waht the F**K!! Anyhow to my reconing it was still under the 10 year anticorrosion warranty Audi set out. So i took it down to the dealers who sais they didn't have a body shop and to go to VW who are Audi approved! Not entirly convince i took it too them and they made an assment and sent it to Audi for a desision! Well it came back, "no warranty given" I asked why and he just said "i dunno ask Audi?" So i did but no reply yet!
It seems to me that it is obvious why the thing has rusted, cos the heat from the turbo has peeled the paint away and the elments have taken ther toll, even galvanisation isn't perfect! But he seemd to think that somthing had been spilt on it to remove the paint which has lead to the corrosion? He was a proper jobsworth though! you know the type, "the world will stop revolving the moment they die!"
Anyone else coment on this? I'll be chasing Audi up very soon cos at least they could do is to give me a damm answer!:mad:
