All warranty claims submitted for payment must be in accordance with the Audi Warranty Policies and Procedures

When performing the combined software update, time stamps are not required for billing under warranty. You are
therefore permitted to work on other vehicles at the same time. The combined software update can also be
performed by non-productive personnel.

Additional Information

The engine control unit software must be updated on this vehicle. Inform the customer about the software update
and ask them whether the engine control unit has been altered by chip tuning. Explain to the customer that updating
the engine control unit software renders the chip tuning ineffective. In certain circumstances, the engine control unit
may even be damaged by the software update. Ask the customer to clarify with the tuning company in advance
whether a software update is possible. Damage to the engine control unit resulting from chip tuning cannot be billed
to AUDI AG under warranty. Please refer the customer to the Warranty and Maintenance booklet to learn more
about how chip tuning can impact warranty coverage. Explain to the customer that neither AUDI AG nor your
company can be held responsible for damage caused by the software update or for damage that occurs as the
result of not having the update performed. Make a note to this effect on the order before it is signed by the customer.
Include this information in the customer file.
