Audi requires calibration after every windshield replacement on Pre Sense-equipped A6 models. We always inform customers of this.
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.
