Corrosion

[Johnmed]

Further to another thread I thought I’d start this of my own. Last year I noticed the rear arches had become corroded quickly, whereas the bubbling elsewhere on the car hadn’t really progressed in the ~5 years I’ve had the car.

See pics attached.

I contacted Audi UK, who signposted me to my local Audi dealership. Popped in there end of last year. Had the car seen and had no reply. Contacted Audi UK yesterday and they got back to me today:

Dear Mr Medhurst

Thank you for our telephone conversation on 9 January.

I can confirm that Carl from Warrington Audi has advised the panel is aluminium and will not be covered under warranty and will be classed as paint defect and the warranty for this is three years.

If you are not happy with the centre’s diagnosis, you can contact PVWI who are an independent company who can provide you with a second opinion. There will be a charge for their inspection; however, we will accept their decision. Their details can be found via the link below:

If we can be of any further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact us on the number below.

Kind regards

Anyone had any dealings with PVWI, or been told similar by Audi about their corrosion?
