The paint warranty was for 3 years, there is also an corrosion warranty - a 12 Year Anti-Perforation Warranty. I'm afraid I don't think either apply here, but you could claim it is liable to perforate within 12 years and you have reported before that so that they can intervene before a more expensive repair is required. Then again, the newest D3s are nearly 10 years old now, so may be difficult to convince them.
Your new vehicle is manufactured with full protection against rust attacking the internal cavities from the inside to the outside leading to perforation. The anti-perforation warranty lasts for a period of 12 years starting from the date of delivery to the first owner.
In the unlikely event of this occurring within the warranty period, your Audi Centre will carry out the required repairs free of charge. The following conditions apply:
• The defect must be reported to an Audi Centre as soon as it is discovered. This must, of course, be within the warranty period.
• The Audi Centre must determine that the perforation has stemmed from within the internal cavities and is the result of a manufacturing defect.
• The perforation must not have been caused originally by external factors such as accident damage, stone chips, industrial fallout or pollution, plant resin, animal pollutants, chemicals or insufficient care or maintenance.
