Four years or 50,000 miles is the original warranty that most Audi vehicles offer. The basic Audi warranty is a bumper to bumper warranty that covers your vehicle against defects in materials and workmanship. Because most Audi models do not have any kind of powertrain extended warranty, you should keep in mind that you must not exceed an average of 12,500 miles a year in order to be covered for a full four years. Higher mileage drivers can expect the original coverage to end in two or three years and find themselves at risk for many costly repairs in the years ahead. Luckily, there are extended warranties available to take the sting out of these possibly expensive repairs.

Vehicle maintenance must occur according the maintenance scheduled as outlined in your owner's manual. Failure to provide regularly scheduled repairs and tune-ups to your vehicle could result in the default of your Audi warranty. It may be a good idea to keep a record of all maintenance to avoid any questions. Generally, there are two types of maintenance schedules: sever and normal. While most people fall under the normal maintenance schedule, if you do a lot of stop and go driving, usually drive for only short trips, operate your vehicle on poor road conditions, live in a hot climate, do mountain driving, or use you vehicle for towing, you should follow the "severe" schedule.
Under your Audi warranty, repairs must be made at a franchised Audi dealership, except in emergency situations. Repairs may be made by components that are new, repaired, remanufactured or reconditioned.
Before installing any aftermarket parts into your vehicle, review all documentation provided with your Audi warranty. Typically, any component failures caused as a result of the aftermarket part will no longer be covered under warranty. Even the most basic of accessories, such as an aftermarket alarm, radio or remote starter, could omit normally covered components from being covered.
