I was reading through the warranty manual last night to say if my turbocharger is covered under warranty. From what I can tell, it seems like under the California emmissions warranty section, the turbo is covered for 7 years/70000 miles. Can anybody confirm this?

 

Also, does being chipped void this warranty and if so does anybody have a stock ECU they'd sell for cheap? (or loan)

 

yes if the car is chipped this will void the warrenty for parts that would be due to the chip ie: turbocharger o well just this of this as a chance to upgrade

 

But they have to find out that you are chipped

 

You are already out of warranty, unless you bought an extended package. The factory warranty is 4 year/50,000 miles.

 

u can always get a chip and most of the companies have a special reflasher that hides the program from audi

 

What is a reflasher and does APR have one?

 

What do you know, CARB does something good.

In california, at least as far back as 2000, the following are covered for 7 years of 70K

Intercooler
Catalytic converter
Exhaust manifold
ECU
Fuel tank
Intrke manifold,
Mass flow sensor
Secondary Air pump
Throttle Body
Transmission control module
TURBO

This applies to any CARB qualified Audi. This appears to be irrespective if the car is registered or sold in California.
Amazing what you can find in the manual

Also found out that Audi will send out an index of TSB free of charge 1 800 544 8021, (but charges for the actual TSB.
