Default Rats!!!

After having my 00-A8 (Assured) for 30 days and fully enjoying it my battery died yesterday and had to jump start it. Do you think my dealer will replace it for free? Of course, my radio does not turn on...GRRRRRRRRRR

Default Most Audi's came with a 60 month battery I believe

When I disconnected mine to look at the steering wheel a few weeks back, it stated on the top of the battery that it's a 60 month battery, so at least a pro-rated replacement would be in order.

My last car, a 91 200q, had the battery under the rear seat inside the passenger compartment, the car was 10 years old when I got rid of it (3rd owner) and it still had the original OEM Audi battery in it.

My 97 still has the original battery in it too.
