Interesting comment by Audi Aus as reported in 'Go Auto' last month (8/9), re an extra 2 years factory warranty for affected Audi diesel owners in Aus - but haven't heard/seen any further details since:
Mr Doyle said the company was still trying to obtain approval from the Department of Infrastructure and Regional Development (DIRD) for emissions scandal-related repairs to 16,000 Audis, despite telling GoAuto in June that approvals were expected in “the next week or so”.
“The recall itself is still officially awaiting final approval. We’re working literally daily with DIRD on getting that across the line,” he said.
“We expect that imminently again – even though we said that last time we spoke. We’re ready to go. We have 60 to 70 per cent of our models approved internationally, so it’s a matter now coming to a timing with the department which we’re very close to doing.”
Mr Doyle said repairs would consist of a sub-30 minute software download for 95 per cent of its products, and that affected customers would also receive an additional two years of warranty and roadside assistance on top of their existing packages.
