Had mine done just over a year ago and it was six years old at the time. Was initially told the replacements were only for cars upto 5 years old, but dealer agreed to do on the first phone call as it was very low mileage
Shame it has to be done at all though

Hey guys! I'm brand new to these forums. I've found lots of great information for my TT on the forums so thought I'd join.
Well, I've got a 2001 Audi TT that has a failing dashpod. The meters are working as far as I know, but the center display has many many missing pixels. It looks so bad to the point that I turn it off when people step into the car. Any idea if I'm able to get it replaced as well? Is this just a UK deal? I live in the US. |

Welcome to the mad house... UK deal only I'm afraid... not much evidence of Audi CS doing much elsewhere in the world... however with the consumer 'lemon' laws in the US I'm sure you could get it sorted... Mintex Extreme, Blueflame exhaust, OEM 'facelift' springs, 15mm F, 20mm R H&R, R32 ARB,
was 239BHP @5452rpm, 236ft/lb (AmD 13/11/04), now one-clicked so? Front brakes, Rear brakes, Springs |

Just go to the dealer, ask for it to be replaced FOC... if he argues, tell him to call Audi UK CS. Somewhere on the forum is a PDF of a letter from Audi UK CS to one of the forum members confirming FOC replacement on all cars irrespective of age/provenance.

Cheer guys. Mine's an early one - '99 but it has low mileage so it shouldn't be a problem.
Just got it yesterday and ran out of juice when the dash said 1/4 full 
Has anyone got a copy of that PDF letter from Audi? |
