Go to website and call to find out. You will need to know where your car was bought if you got it used and if it is from overseas, who you bought it through. Pretty sure though it is too late if your's has busted. Depends on where it was manufactured. Go to website and call to find out.

I sent an e-mail to Settlement Admins 3 days ago and they said that Audi and VW are two separate accounts that pay to two separate classes. VW still has yet to fund their account. From what I was told, and I call/e-mail everyday, is that VW told them they were in process. I will post as soon as I am told they have funded. Settlement Admin also said it would take them one business day to print and mail the checks. Hopefully this is coming to an end. Good luck to all of you other VW's and congrats to you Audi's.

All reputable dealers are kept up to date with notices of recalls, lawsuits, etc. I would talk to the attorney responsable for this suit. You may try the settlement admin, however I would e-mail them instead of calling the toll free line. The CSR's that answer the line are scripted and most of them, except for one named Shirley, are not extremely bright. They have the script and only the script. They actually only read what is written on the website. Good luck.

I just bought the car from a non audi dealor am I still covered. I don't have and maintance records on this car. Should I take it to the Audi dealor and have them fix it. Will I be reimbursed? Someone please give me some info. I was totally unaware of this timing belt issue. I wish I would have known I would have had it fixed.
