That's my understanding as well with one slight tweak. IIRC, they said they'll top off the Adblue between scheduled services as needed. To me, that means I'm still paying for Adblue at the...

So Audi isn't replacing the DPF? I was hoping for a new DPF to reset the ash load back to zero. Hopefully, our DPFs won't need replacing (for full ash load) before 120,000 mi. (I plan to ditch my Q5...

Good to hear JTDI. Still hoping my tranny and/or cooling system blow up under this warranty, mainly so VAG can get burned by their own BS "lifetime" transmission fluid and coolant policy.
