Default Well, if that's true, then my dealer owes me 300 bucks.

I couldn't find any documentation on the brake pads being covered. I'm reading my Warranty pamphlet and it specifically says 12 months/12,000 miles for "wear items". It lists brake pads, discs, clutch, wiper blades, etc, etc.

Default The first dealer that I went to wouldn't touch it - they actually said...

...that they needed a video of it in order to honor the TSB!!! The next dealer updated the software and told me if the problem persisted that they would replace the bulb. Guess what, the problem persists!

So, those of you that have gotten this repaired, did the dealer simply replace the failing bulb or did they replace both bulbs?

Default Re: wonder what is included in the service

How did you get your brakes free of charge, is your car a 2005 or older? On 2006 or newer audis brake pads are not covered under warranty.

So both are flickering and going out intermittently. Scheduled an appointment.

Default The car is at the dealer now but they can't recreate the problem.

They found a TSB on the bulbs but say if they can't recreate the problem they're not supposed to cover it under warranty. They're still working on it, they may keep it overnight and try it when it's cold outside.

I've put up with this problem for at least 3 months because I knew this would happen and I wanted to wait until there was a fault and it was easy to recreate.

So far this is the only link I could find that seems similar, but there's no details:<ul><li><a href="http://www.audiforums.com/recalls-and-tsbs/make_AUDI/model_S4/year_2006/id_20056243/TSB.htm">http://www.audiforums.com/recalls-and-tsbs/make_AUDI/model_S4/year_2006/id_20056243/TSB.htm</a</li></ul>

Default

Mine did it whenever the car was cold, and I turned the lights on and drove it.
