Last week I smoked my tranny for good. Boom, it's gone. Slipping like crazy and making a whining noise through first, second, and third. Oh crap. Limp to the dealer and cross my fingers.
Good news: Audi Fidelity Platinum came through once again and fully covered a brand new OEM trans and revised TCU. Would it be better to have a built/upgraded unit? Of course. But they're not going to cover that. I have to be happy with not paying the nut for new OEM stuff with it's own 1 year warrantee installed by an RS tech!
Fidelity has saved my a$$ on this car. My hat is off to them. They have stuck me with some "wear items" that some guys debate, like cooling pipes and control arms, a switch, etc. But the retail cost of all the major fixes they have covered has been 4x what I paid for the warranty! Somewhere an actuary is crying.
Hope your situation works out, Palette!
