After recently hearding about the 12 year guarentee that coms with these lovely cars, Iv decided Im going to try and get a spot or paint done on mine, theres rust starting to come through were the rear door meets the wheel well.It doesnt really bother me that much, as theres only a bit, but if theres a chance I can get it sorted for nothing then I'm there! Iv been reffered to an Audi recommended body shop,as opposed to in house, so Im off to get my paint looked at, I'll keep you all up to date with my goings on!

I wouldnt of thought stone chips were coverd, as thats not the paints fault if you get me?However for stone chips I highly recommend www.chipsaway.co.uk theyre mobile, and very reasonably priced

When you read the audi fine print it says that it will only cover corrosion from the inside to outside. How they tell this i am not sure but id be intererested to know how anyone gets on as my 2001 a3 could do with one or two bits being sorted

Aye, with the A6 it was mainly the pre-facelift (pre-2001) models.

Mine has had none of those roof corrosion problems, so I'm happy.
