i bought my car from the audi garage in blackburn back in march, and i have just had a letter through in the post saying its due its yearly/10,000 mile check up.

I am guessing this is because it was first registered in July 2007. Should i bother taking it in for this check up.

If anything needs any work on it, it would normally be covered under warrenty, however i have just found with all of my documents a form about transfering warrenty to the next owner.

Should i have filed this in when i got the car, or will the garage have done it, or is it even necessary. AND should i bother taking it in for this yearly service, or is it not worth it given i only had it 5 months
 
The service needs doing or your warranty will be void, I was up at Blackburn Audi the other week, they are a nice bunch.

Your car will be on the system so don't worry about not transfering the warranty.

When the car needs servicing is nothing to do with when you bought it.

Having said that, I'm a little surprised that you would get that notice as Audis have been on variable servicing for quite a few years. Unless the original owner asked for it to be put onto annual servicing from day 1.

Either way, you should check as your warranty will be voided if you don't get servicing done when it's due.

Regarding the transfer of warranty. The dealer should have done that for you. I believe those forms are just for when the car is sold privately within the warranty period.

Check the indicator in the dash, just pull on the right hand button, you should get a reading in miles/days until the service is due.
