My Alternator failed over 2 years ago. Car was grounded for 6 months waiting for a spare due to supply chain issues in the UK. Car was eventually repaired in May 2023 and has been fine for the last 20 months. I got a 2 year warranty with the spare alternator and the bill was over £1.5k (since my car was out of warranty when the alternator originally failed.) I fought hard with Audi UK trying to get them to admit it was a safety issue/recall, tried to get compensation, I showed them evidence Audi USA were extending warranties to 7 year etc. but kept getting fobbed off. I ran out of energy and for the last year or so, I've taken my eye off the forums about this issue. I came across this thread and am pleased to see some admission from Audi UK there is a problem and extending warranty of UK alternators to 7 years as well. This looks to have happened after I had to pay for my repair in 2023. Has anyone retrospectively made a claim to get their money back now that Audi UK have changed the warranty period, and if so, how do I go about doing this. Thanks guys!
