Just had the call from Audi (Sytner Nottingham). Audi UK have refused to pay for the repair but the dealer will foot the bill as a goodwill gesture. :jump_clap: Implication was that goodwill was available because the car had FASH.

Incidentally, Audi UK have agreed to pay for the repair of a small 10mm corrosion blemish on the bodywork (rear door).

You can order a new mirror mounting bracket separately, have ordered one today for £46inc vat. Will be nicer finish than having existing one rubbed down and painted.

Maybe worth doing the same we did on the DRC issues - if enough people have the issue then surely Audi have to listen ?

Its bizarre that it is almost always the drivers side that goes.
