Most only cover powertrain related parts (tranny, engine, differential) and nothing more. It may be a complete bumper-to-bumper, but usually it's not. Also, the O2 sensors could be considered wear items (like brake pads and wiper blades). If so, it's not going to be covered under any warranty, even emissions. I'm not saying don't try, I'm saying don't be surprised if they won't cover it. | |

However, I did purchase the extended warranty which covers me to 100K miles. In addition, I am under 80K miles, so if what the smog shop told me is correct, I would still be under that warranty. | |
| Nov 30, 2015 at 12:39 | comment | added | Pᴀᴜʟsᴛᴇʀ2♦ | How many miles on your car and when exactly was it purchased? The 2012 Audi Q5 (and most other Audi's for that matter) have a 4yr/50,000 mile warranty associated with them. Depending on whether Audi considers the O2 sensors a "wear item" or not, they may be covered. I'm voting for not covered, but there is always a chance. If the vehicle was bought early in the Model Year (MY), it has probably pushed through its 48 month warranty already, so may have busted out of its coverage there as well. | |
