I had the same issue on my car last year and the wing was replaced free of charge at Perth Audi.

Keep me posted on this as I've found some at the bottom of my front wings where they meet the sill trim. I'll probably be using the same dealer as you so very interested in the outcome.

A different women phoned me this morning basically nothing gunna change....said i wasnt happy and stated i was gunna take it further, then she said it all depends on the dealer if they pay it all or not..did you know fellas that audi cars have 12yrs corrosion but the initial paint has only 3yrs?? They have admited that there is a problem with paint so thats why they say they will pay 70%...hmmm wrong answer my dear lol..so she turned round and has said she will speak to tyneside audi today but wont tell me the outcome until i send her my v5 document so i can prove the ownership..so i hope DVLA will hurry up with them!!!will keep you all posted on outcome

Jay - that sounds promising - keep the pressure up and don't back down. I think you may just get a favourable result - fingers crossed :thumbs:

Any joy with your warranty claim yet? Been into Tyneside Audi with mine and guy was very helpful. Same as you with the 70/30 split but escalated it to Audi UK for 100% payment. He did say he'd had 3 in over the last week for claims so maybe you've started something now haha

No, still waiting to hear back from Audi uk for the 100%. Garage have given me a price for my 30% contribution. Same as yours and going to replace the front wings so I argued it can't be a paint issue if the wings need replacing. Will just have to wait and see too.
