Hello,
Audi A6 2017 model, had an adblue pipe perish when a car has only done 22000 (1 year out of warranty so £500+ bill) and only had a service last month! Feel audi should contribute to the repair but they refuse to do so as its out of warranty. Any other options, or stuck with repair bill?
Thanks

    I definitely wouldn't be paying an Audi dealer to repair the car if Audi aren't going to contribute. An independent VW/AUDI specialist mechanic should be able to replace it for a lot less. I would recommend you buy a genuine Audi part, but also that you also look into why it only lasted 22K miles.  It should have lasted 200K miles. 
    The comments I post are my personal opinion. While I try to check everything is correct before posting, I can and do make mistakes, so always try to check official information sources before relying on my posts.
