I recently found this on the bottom of my door, and I'm really concerned about it especially since winter is creeping in. It's not that big at all, and was wondering if this is something that Audi can fix under the rust warranty.

But if not, what would be the best procedure for me to go with if I DIY it.






Any help would be greatly appreciated!

 

I would contact Audi first, as the warranty should cover it. Unless this has been repainted or refinished after the OEM paint job. Good luck, keep us updated.

 

yes it should be covered... 12yrs on paint if i remember correctly

 

yup its covered unless it was previosly repaired

 

Haha, good luck. All manufacturer's corrosion warranties explicitly state that they only cover perforation; and, as such, are essentially useless. Very few people ever get corrosion claims put through at a dealership. I think your only chance is that your car is rather new to be showing any corrosion at all, even if it is just surface oxidation.

 

Here is what Audi says about rust and other warranty issues.
