newbie questions

[chris06]

Hello, i just got a sweet white 2003 A4. When i turn the car on it displays "Service!" on the screen in the dash for a couple seconds, then goes away. is this just like a system check thing or does it need to be serviced?

Also, it only came with one standard key. does anyone know how much it would cost to get a remote control key?

Thanks,
Chris

theres loads of keys on ebay but obviously you'll have to get it programmed which is quite costly i believe

You can get a blank key on Ebay and synch it to unlock your car, but it won't disable the immobiliser - Audi need to do that for you, I believe. Don't pay for the instructions to synch the key to your car - search on here and pm me if you can't find!

Yes it needs a service, as previously stated.
You can get blank keys from eBay, but:
You will need to get the blade cut.
There is a straightforward process for getting the key to be able to unlock the car.
You need diagnostic tools to register the key with the immobiliser, possibly RosTech and a KKL cable?
