High Pressure Fuel Pump

[Phil Dicky]

I've a faulty high pressure fuel pump on an Audi A7 2013 car 80k. Car has 3 month dealer warranty left. Bill will be about £1.5k.
Question is am I wasting my time trying to claim. Should the pump last longer than 80k. Would it be worth a small claims court process if the dealer refuse to contribute.
Mods please leave this here..not car specific really and don't need mechanical knowledge, just general wisdom.

Surely if the car has 3 months warranty left this should be the first avenue a fuel pump isn't a consumable or normal wear item.

That's my feeling, however I expect a fight from the dealer.

A fuel pump should be covered by any reputable warranty. It is not a service item or a consumable.

Speak to the dealer before you do anything else, and give them the opportunity to put it right. They will almost certainly want to inspect the car and confirm the diagnosis.

Your warranty will have a list of included and/or excluded items. Check and make a claim.
