Hydraulic Unit Limited Warranty Extension and What is Covered
Effective on August 3, 2023, for applicable vehicles, the New Vehicle Limited Warranty will be extended to cover repair
or replacement (by an authorized Audi dealer) of a hydraulic unit for a period of 10 years or 120,000 miles, whichever
occurs first from the vehicle’s in-service date. The vehicle’s original In-Service date is defined as the date the vehicle
was delivered to either the original purchaser or the original lessee; or if the vehicle was first placed in service as a
“demonstrator” or “company” car, on the date such vehicle was first placed in service.
During the time/mileage period specified above, an authorized Audi Dealer will diagnose and replace the Hydraulic Unit
at no cost to the customer if the diagnosis confirms that the hydraulic unit has failed from a warranty defect (fault code
P0C29 is stored after the software update and road test). Please see TSB 2050723 for further information on the
diagnosis and repair process.
If diagnosis reveals that the vehicle has an unrelated issue(s), diagnosis and any necessary repairs to correct such
issue(s) will not be covered under this warranty extension.
Additional information
This warranty extension does not cover damage or malfunctions caused by outside influence, such as an accident, or
vehicle misuse or neglect, nor does it cover repairs that are necessary for proper diagnosis of these conditions or that
are required to bring the vehicle up to factory specifications.
Transferability
The warranty, as extended, is fully transferable to subsequent owners.
