Athena Auto Protection protects A4 owners from five-figure repair bills.

Audi A4 Extended Warranty FAQ
New Audi A4 vehicles include a 4-year/50,000-mile bumper-to-bumper warranty and a 4-year/50,000-mile powertrain warranty. After expiration, Audi dealership repair bills can be substantial. Athena's coverage fills that gap.
Common A4 issues include timing chain tensioner failure (particularly on 2.0T TFSI engines), S-tronic/DSG transmission hesitation and shuddering, turbocharger oil feed line leaks, high-pressure fuel pump failure, and MMI electronics faults. Repairs typically range from $600 to $7,000.
