Hi, I wish I was that competent! I’m going to get a few quotes from body shops local. It’s actually put me off from Audi. I just find that as a brand they have changed. 10 years ago you was welcomed like a guest of honour when you visited the showroom and now it’s like drug dealer central when you go in! Has anyone used Dinitrol or Jenolite rust remover?

Hi Gareth, certainly is within the pressed holes. I will ask that question and see what they reply back. I would agree to try and tackle to prolong this area, however, looking online no other mention of a Audi A4 B8.5 having rust in these pressed holes. Both front fenders have also started rusting in the common place but they said that was due to stone chips etc. Thank you

Just an update guys. Took the car into Audi bodyshop. They took photos and measured the paint. Paint was all original. They said they would get back to me, finally after many months Audi UK got back to me today with this: “I have spoken with the Bodyshop Manager, who explained that the rusts found on the vehicle, including under the bonnet, aren’t perforated, therefore repair works aren’t warrantable. If the rust was due to perforation, then this would be covered under the warranty.” looks like a dead end 🤷🏻‍♂️

The bodyshop manager seems to be “Busy” at Audi and not bothered to call back. I’ve attached some more pictures before. Thanks

Hi Guys, Topping up the fluids I've noticed some rust areas in the engine bay. Recent MOT nothing mentioned. Would this be covered under the Audi rust warranty? Would it be something I should get sorted asap? Car is 2013 Audi A4 2.0 TDI Black edition. The rust is on both Drivers and passenger side. Thanks IMG_1442.HEIC IMG_1443.HEIC IMG_1444.HEIC
