I bought my A3 a few months back and although its had a lot of money spent and came with a F.S.H
The car has been on the longlife service plan and the previous owner had kept to the service intervals but i myself really dont like the idea of such long intervals so today as the car had done 10k since the last service thought now was the time to change to a 10k service plan and save myself a packet and do it myself
Anyway i got all the service parts today for just under £100 and set about getting mucky doing a full service.
All went well but i was a little concerned when i changed the pollen filter. (i know what i found isnt going to cause any major problems but it does make think)
Anyway like i say its all done now and i know its been done as it should plus ive saved myself a small fortune
By the way this is how i found the pollen filter (half the leaves and dirt etc had just fallen out the bottom as it wasnt sealed properly either) to be honest this really shouldnt happen and did have me a bit worried about how cars are treated when in the hands of leading companys charging what they do
