How much does a warped dash cost to fix?

it's not that it is expensive, it is that any repair will never be as good as factory new. That might put off some people

Seems expensive. We have dashboards available.

Kind regards

I heard the dash itself is about $6K but then a few more grand to replace.

Exactly this from my dealer. Trying to decide whether to proceed or just stay with the weighted bags on the spots. They seem to work quite well without the risk of completely dismantling the dash.

I should have asked, what do you mean by warped? My 2017 R8 has a leather dash and I live in South Florida where I now have a slight raise happening in the leather. I plan on getting dark and UV tint for the front windshield. Although I’m not sure how much the interior heat contributes to the leather coming up.

I wonder if that trick to put weight on the dash will fix the leather? It almost looks like using a real small syringe with glue may fix it. But I’m too nervous doing the injection.

Any suggestions?

Some member reported using scuba shot. I used a ton of BBs (well wrapped) stuffed into gun socks since BBs are readily available and gun socks seem to be an ideal size to conform to the areas where the leather is lifting. I usually leave them on the troublesome spots when the car is in the garage and remove before driving. I've left them off for several days and the leather doesn't lose adhesion. I'm sure it will eventually but for now, the BB option works for me. I may still have the dash replaced but the weights are a good stop-gap.

this is a common issue for marques like Aston Martin or Ferrari, which is to be expected. But I wouldn't expect it from Audi. This wasn't really an issue at all in GEN1, not sure why it's happening so much to GEN2 cars
