Audi requires calibration after every windshield replacement on Pre Sense-equipped A4 models. Since ALL B9 A4 models have Pre Sense standard, this applies to every A4 we service.
Our recommendation: If you're using insurance, calibrate — cost is covered. If you're paying out of pocket, a non-calibrated replacement is a reasonable choice if the system was working perfectly before.
