Hi All,
The passenger side floor (front and rear) of my 2006 A 6 was soaking wet during a road trip this past weekend. A call to the dealer from the road, suggested a blocked evaporation line. They said come in to get the line unclogged and drained.
They claim (as does A of A) that this is not a covered warranty repair.
Does anyone have experience with Audi, their dealer or this problem? Since I didn't cause the problem and it seems to be a design defect, shouldn't Audi cover the repair costs?
Audi does not recommend checking evaporation lines; it's not a part of the regular maintenance nor is it something that I would be aware of unless the water started coming into my car.
In all my years of car driving and vehicle ownership, I have never encountered a problem like this. Can any of you offer thoughts or advice?
Thanks!
