    What is the scope of original Audi warranty? And how does Driver Assistance Pkg work?

    Guest-only advertisement. Register or Log In now!
    After almost 2+ months of searching, we found a 2019 Q8 that we like and moving forward with the deal. It currently has 2yrs/16K mi left on the original 5yr/50K mi warranty. Paperwork only shows drivetrain, basic, mechanical features to be covered but does it also cover electrical and sensor-related issues as well? Looking at how these cars have a gazillion sensors, it would stand to reason they're covered but wanted to confirm. Is it truly a bumper-to-bumper warranty coverage?

    The car includes Driver Assistance Pkg which comes with "intersection assist". On the test drive last night, while starting from an intersection, a car jumped the red in the perpendicular direction and went straight across us but the Q8 did not flag it as a hazard. Is this how it's supposed to work? I also had trouble engaging cruise control to test out ACC (traffic jam assist) and LKAS features. I tried to engage it per the instructions and although it would show all the relevant info on the HUD, it just wouldn't activate. There were no sensor warning messages though - is this common or is there some trick to activate it?

    Overall, pretty excited to pick up this car.

    The original factory warranty covers everything except consumables like brakes, wiper blades, etc. This includes all of the very complicated electronic widgets. The intersection assist can be turned on and off in the MMI settings under driver assistance. Check to see if it is on. Same holds true for all of the driver assistance features. The ACC works just great except in heavy traffic because it maintains too much distance between you and the car in front. In NY this is an invitation for every car to jump in the gap.

    Awesome, thanks a bunch for that! I realized I didn't check the on/off of specific driver assistance features, will do prior to car pick up tomorrow.

    Already planning a license plate delete, black-out rings and a chrome delete with vinyl. It comes with body-color grill surround which is probably going to be next on the hit list.
