What's covered on your Audi
- S tronic dual-clutch gearbox faults. a mechatronic unit or gearbox that fails mechanically or electrically.
- Air suspension. on A6, A8 and Q7 models — covered on ClearPath policies where it's a common exclusion elsewhere.
- Timing chain tensioner failure. shared across the VW group, where a jumped chain means valve damage.
- DPF and EGR faults. on TDI diesels, particularly cars used for short journeys.
- Electrical module failure. infotainment, comfort control and sensors.
An S tronic mechatronic unit typically runs £1,200–£2,500 fitted, a full gearbox reaches £3,000, and an air suspension compressor is commonly £600–£1,200. Air suspension cover is worth checking closely — on a Q7 the difference between providers can be worth more than the entire premium.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the Audi factory warranty?
Three years, with unlimited mileage for the first two and a 60,000-mile cap in the third year — the point where many Audi owners start looking at extended cover.
Is the Audi S tronic gearbox covered?
A mechatronic unit or gearbox that fails mechanically or electrically is covered on a comprehensive ClearPath policy. A worn clutch pack is a wear item and isn't.
Does cover include Audi oil consumption?
Generally no — an engine that burns oil but still runs hasn't failed. Any component failure it later causes may be claimable.
Are Audis reliable?
83.9% pass their MOT first time, fourth of 25 brands. Like BMW, the concern is repair cost rather than frequency.
Is Audi air suspension covered?
Yes, on ClearPath policies. It's a common exclusion or a separately-capped item elsewhere — on an A6, A8 or Q7 that difference can be worth more than the premium.
