Audi Q7 body corrosion

[clover168]

Did anyone know will Audi Canada fix it under their 12 years corrosion warranty? It's a 2012 Audi Q7.

Much appreciated with any help

Thank you

If it is like the VW warranty, I've had really good experiences with this warranty. The corrosion can't be because of rock chips though...

There's few rust on the right rear door panel. I have read a lot about Audi Canada will denied the warranty because there's rock chip but this is not what I think rock chip will cause that happen

The picture on the right almost looks like that panel has been repainted? In the corner there is kind of a deformation of the clear coat, it's kinda blurry though, would have to see it to be sure. If it has been repainted, there is no warranty.

Their warranty is a 12 year rust perforation warranty, I know lots of people that have had good success in having it repaired but I also know lots of people who were SOL.

they won't cover unless its rusted a hole through and not just surface rust.

Not always true Ryan, but that seems to be the excuse most of the time. It is a Rust Perforation warranty after all.

My stuff was always just bubbles under the paint. In many cases, no orange rust visible. I've had it done on my old jetta once and on the current passat several times.
