approx 45 deg F). Cranking seemed weak previous to this, now motor barely
turned over. Symptomatic of bad battery. I've posted this because:

1. *Very interesting*

2. Definately. 3 years/50K. Call the 800 number in your paperwork. It's
free of charge. The dealership should also provide you a loaner car if
requested.

3. No.. they send out a dispatch towing service and bring the car to them. 


Now.. here is my question. How did you get a A6 Avant? I haven't seen a
single one yet at my dealership. The literature seems to indicate that they
won't be in until September. Then again, the way VOA organizes their
deliveries/info to the dealers is pretty bad. I wasn't expecting the Passat
wagons until the fall either. 

P.S. Your dealership/salesman should have gone over the warranty with you
and in any regard  you should take the time to review all the manuals that
came with the car.
