Warranty Extension for High-Pressure Fuel Pump
Certain 2010-2012 Audi A3 TDI® Clean Diesel Engine Vehicles
Dear Audi Owner:
As part of Audi’s ongoing commitment to customer satisfaction, we are informing you of our
decision to extend the warranty for the high-pressure fuel pump (HPFP) in your TDI® Clean Diesel
engine vehicle under specific conditions to 10 years or 120,000 miles, whichever occurs first, from
the vehicle's original in-service date.
The vehicle's original in-service date is defined as the date the vehicle was delivered to either the
original purchaser or the original lessee; or if the vehicle was first placed in service as a
"demonstrator" or "company" car, on the date such vehicle was first placed in service.
Should you ever sell the vehicle, this warranty extension is fully transferable to subsequent
owners. Please keep this letter with your Warranty booklet and deliver it to any new owner, along
with the owner’s manual.
This warranty extension covers the diagnosis and replacement of the high-pressure fuel
pump only if:


your vehicle has an Audi-approved misfueling guard installed and
only if correct, uncontaminated fuel is present in your vehicle.
As part of diagnosing a vehicle with a suspected high-pressure fuel pump issue, at no cost to you,
your dealer will inspect the fuel filler neck for a correct misfueling guard. If the misfueling guard is
present, your dealer will then analyze a fuel sample from the vehicle to determine if the correct,
uncontaminated fuel is present. Upon confirmation of both the misfueling guard and correct,
uncontaminated fuel, the high-pressure fuel pump will be replaced at no cost to you, as long as
the vehicle remains within the time and mileage limit of this warranty extension.
If the misfueling guard is damaged or absent, or if analysis shows incorrect or contaminated fuel,
the vehicle will not have coverage under this extension. Additionally, this warranty extension will
not cover:

Any damage or malfunctions caused by the installation of non-factory components
intended to modify the engine and/or allow the vehicle to run on a non-commercially
manufactured “alternate” fuel.

Other conditions unrelated to a faulty high-pressure fuel pump that may cause the MIL
and/or glow plug light to illuminate. These conditions may require repairs that are
needed for proper diagnosis of the underlying condition. Any repairs that are (1)
necessary for proper diagnosis of these other conditions or (2) required to bring the
AUDI HPFP A32015
vehicle’s emission system up to factory specifications are not covered by this warranty
extension.

Damage or malfunctions caused by outside influence, such as damage due to an
accident, or vehicle misuse or neglect as well as repairs that are (1) necessary for
proper diagnosis of these other conditions or (2) required to bring the vehicle up to
factory specifications is not covered by this warranty extension.
Misfueling Guard Information
In 2013, your vehicle was included in a service action to have a misfueling guard installed free of
charge. This guard acts as an additional safeguard to help prevent a gasoline fuel pump nozzle
from being used to fuel the vehicle.
To determine whether or not your vehicle needs a guard installed, please visit www.audiusa.com
and enter your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) into the Recall/Service Campaign Lookup tool.
 If Service Action 20U3 shows “REPAIR NEEDED”, please contact an authorized Audi dealer
without delay to have a guard installed free of charge before May 31, 2016. After that date,
your dealer’s normal parts and labor cost associated with the installation will apply.
 If Service Action 20U3 does not show with “REPAIR NEEDED”, or if the misfueling guard
has been damaged or is missing, please contact an authorized Audi dealer without delay to
have your vehicle inspected (and a new guard installed). Your dealer’s normal parts and
labor cost associated with the installation will apply.
Lease Vehicles & Address Changes
If you are the lessor and registered owner of the vehicle identified in this warranty extension,
please forward this information immediately via first-class mail to the lessee within ten (10) days of
receipt of this notification. If you have changed your address or sold the vehicle, please fill out the
enclosed prepaid owner reply card and mail it to us so we can update our records.
Reimbursement of Expenses
If you have previously paid for replacement of a faulty high-pressure fuel pump, please refer to the
enclosed form that explains how to request reimbursement.
We are pleased to offer this extended warranty and we thank you for your continued loyalty!
Sincerely,
Audi Customer Protection

Note:
Before proceeding, perform all GFF diagnostic procedures and check all components to determine a root cause of
the condition, including testing supply pressure to the high pressure fuel pump (low pressure side) and checking
for internal leakage from the injectors and N276 pressure regulating valve.
If no root cause can be found, use the following procedure to check for metallic particles in the high pressure fuel
pump.
Initial diagnosis of high pressure fuel pump:
1. Prepare to remove the N290 fuel metering valve by first
cleaning the area around the valve then drying the area
using compressed air (Figure 1). All debris must be
removed from the area to ensure that no debris enters the
fuel system and causes damage.
More information is available in the Elsa Repair Manual at
