I was told, since 2 months ago it is considered a wear and tear part, and is no longer covered, ouch!

I signed a contract at the time of purchase which states they are covered and they can take me to court if they dare.

Check the coverages in your original contract. They can't change stuff like that post hoc.

all wear and tear parts are not covered, Not sure if it list individual parts. I will check it out to see if it specifies the Tie-Rods though.

If they could, what's to stop them from deciding the engine block or the transmission is a normal wear and tear part? I would think that the terms of the contract are set at the time you entered into the contract. If they were still covering them at that time, I think you'd have an argument that they can't change it now. I might call around a bit to other Audi dealers and see if this one is just hosing you. Or call Audi USA and see what they say. Those things aren't cheap! Worth a little legwork.

By that logic, the entire car is composed of wear and tear parts.

I agree. I don't think that seems right.

you talk to a different dealer?
