What you are instead reliant upon, is the 12 year transferrable corrosion warranty. This is transferrable because (presumably) it is industry standard, increases the re-sale value of the brand (and thus makes more people buy into it).

So, what you need to do is obtain a copy of the corrosion policy wording applicable to the vehicle when it was first sold. Audi should be able to provide you with this. If they can't, hard to see how they'd defend any claim based on the terms it contains!

Then, send it to me, and I'll have a look over it for you, we'll have a chat, and decide what to do. Trust me I'm a lawyer.
