Is DRC covered under the used warranty?

Hi,

Is DRC covered by the 12months approved used warranty? I assume so...

Got some knocking and clunking going on front and rear and it has been booked in for next week. Only got the car Saturday from a main Audi dealer so if they try to wriggle out of it i'll be returning the car under the 30 day replacement scheme.

Yes it should be although when I had mine replaced in January, Mondial tried to wriggle out of part of the claim. However, once I called them directly, they backed down and all parts and labour were foc. You shouldn't need to use the Audi 5-year promise.

Funny how the DRC should fail so soon after purchasing from a main dealer. You going to name and shame? If I were you, take it to Camberley for the warranty work and they might spot other faults which your stealer "missed".

Cheers.

That's really not good enough. I'd be furious. We pay a premium at the main dealers and you kind of hope that you get something for the extra cash. However, each time I go to an Audi dealer I get more disappointed with their service. Such a shame because they do make (some) great cars.

To be honest - it was a good deal and it has had 4 new tyres and all new discs and pads + the general condition is excellent.
