Seat Heaters

[Mitchell]

a) this isn't normal, this is something that seems to only have happened in
the last Winter, as in the past, I have used the heaters for hours on long
trips, with no problems.  This is a new problem that recently started, so
something has changed, which I want to try to fix.

b) How old were the cars when they offered to fix them under "goodwill"?
Mine is 9 years old, and long past the warrantee period.  Unless there's
some secret recalls or service bulletins on this problem, I can't imagine
that they would be willing to fix the problem for free for a car that is 4+
years out of warrantee.

I know the VW dealership I work for has had a number of customers with the 
same complaint on Passats.  The factory is covering them under "goodwill" 
and they are getting new seat covers and/or heaters as required free of 
charge.

Might want to check into that same thing with your local Audi dealer.
