letter from Audi of America

CERTAIN 2001-2004 MODEL YEAR AUDI VEHICLES:
 
if any of u have replaced ur engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor u will be reimbursed...It states that audi has extended the Emissions Controls Systems warranty to 10 yrs or 100,000 mi or whichever occurs first..i changed the sensor about 2 months ago so im looking forward for reimbursement...
 

I got that too, too bad I am over 100,000 miles, is there anything I can do?

dont know what to tell u...im barely at 52,000 mi.... im sure u can call the 800# the letter has and call them up...if u got a receipt or sumthin im sure u can atleast get reimbursed 4 da price da sensor cost

Just got mine in the mail today.  I'm not really concerned about it, cause I have a CPO... but it's nice to know that AOA is looking out for us.

You think I could get my coolant flange $ reimbursed?

Wow, cost me 8 bucks to do it myself. Yeah, they are really looking out for us. Now, if they would cover the poorly designed water pump that I had to have replaced at 98,000 miles, THAT would be looking out for us!

Yeah I got that letter, I took it to the dealership, but one of the techs left the parking break off and my audi rolled and hit a wall.
they repainted the front bumper and then fixed a ding in my door for free b/c they had extra paint on hand.

got the same letter the other day. so do i take the car in to get it fixed?

No, i think it is not a Recall, it just extends your warranty on that specific part and tells you if u have already paid for one to repalce at the Dealer, they will give u refund.

Replaced mine for cheap a few months ago.  It was a biatch to do though.  Thanks audi.

I didn't get one of these letters ... does anybody know if it applies to the 3.0?

In the letter i got it doesnt say anything abouth the engine, it jut says 2001-2004 model years.

i have the 3.0 and i received the letter.

Sweet, that's good to know.  Thx!

The letter I got said it was a recall, it said SOME models are bad. They ran a few tests and said I was alright.
I have an 02 under 60K, so we will see once I get up around 100K.

I have a 1.8t, and I received the letter.  I'm guessing that if you haven't received a notice from AOA, that you didn't buy your car from a dealer.

I bought mine straight from the previous owner, and my letter showed up yesterday. The only records AoA would have of me is the couple times I've picked up parts from the local stealerships.

im sure they got your information from the DMV, doesnt that make more sense? i bought my car from a used car dealership, non-audi.

Didn't get my 03' A4 1.8t Q from a dealer and got the "letter" last week for AOA......looks like an extended warranty on a emission control device. Sounds like it sensor does effect the engine preformance if it fails.

How would that make more sense? And why would they go through the effort to bother the DMV for information they already have in their systems? Why would the DMV even let them have access to those records?

do you still get the letter if your not the original purchaser?

Yes, if it is documented that you are the current owner of a car.

Could someone please post the contact number in the letter?
 
Thanks,
