audi servicing

[raiman]

morning all

had my a4 2.0 tdi for 2 years now and the service light has come up. My cars done bang on annual 10k miles a year so now its 2 years old with 20k on the clock and due its first service. I've spoken to a few audi dealers and the information they're giving me is varying greatly. I've been quoted from £170 - £334 ranging from an interim service to a major service. Im totally confused as to what is the recommended schedule for my car and what i should be going with.

Please help.

depends on whether you are bothered if you get an audi stamp in the book.A major service is basically a change of oil/brake fluid (after two years) and filters, with visual checks of other componants.

Sorry to hijack the thread,

Johnny I am in the same position right now car done 40000 miles, the major service is for £359 & normal is £159

In major service they are changing fuel filter which is £86.99 do I really need this now ?

Also can I change air filter, pollen & dust filet myself ? I really don’t want pay Audi extra £100 for these 2 filters if I can do it myself.

Thank you for your help

Well only thing i want is Audi stamp otherwise i wont even bother going to dealer.

i don't have a ramp but i can take it to local garage he probably charge me £10 £15 to replace it.

thanks for your help mate.

Id def do the small service at audi, and then get the fuel filter done locally.The air and pollen filter you can do yourself saving a significant amount, and get the dealer stamp

everything is charged by labour rates, and at 120 squid an hour plus it mounts up pretty sharpish.

I asked him, how much for fuel filter ? he said £28.00 inc VAT, I said how can you justify £89.00 for fuel filter & he gone all quite
