How do we get Audi to cover the B7 seat Bolsters?

Post by Stevieb03 » Fri Jul 30, 2010 1:09 pm

All,

As Audi covered the DRC with an additional 5 years, how do we get the Seat Bolsters that won't hold the air the same? it seems like a common fault that can be costly to repair?

any suggestions?

Well depending on how my, so far unsuccessful claim, goes through extended warranty, my dealer and i will be going to Audi for a good will gesture towards the repair.

Both my front seats were covered under extended warranty, all pumps and valves replaced. Cost approximately £1700, but they were non-functioning and so should be replaced.
Audi were playing hard ball initially but my service manager did a great job to get them sorted! :thumbs:
Makes me wonder whether its a postcode lottery on the bolster issue dependent on how supportive your service manager is?
