So the AVS was coming close to being due and now the car is out of warranty (although thats a joke) I made my mind up ages ago never to send it back to an Audi dealer.
Boy am I glad.
Took it to my mate who runs a garage. AVS service, 4 yrs, 68K Miles.
Basically he's replaced everything. He commented that the air filter had more dirt than a babies nappy and the spark plugs looked like they were hi-jacked from a morris minor. So he replaced everything, except one belt (can't remember which) but he said it was easily good for 100-20K miles.
Suffice to say that the journey home was soooo impressive. the car drove really nice, it felt like there was loads of power under my right foot and a job really well done.
The best of it... £258. It took him 7 hours to do the job.
