    Oil Change - ££££

    Okay i was just a bit confused by your comment that 0w30 shouldn't got anywhere near these cars because that is what Audi are using, but at the same time you would only buy a car with full Audi service history.

    Oil Change - ££££

    So I should or shouldn't go for a full Audi service history?

    Oil Change - ££££

    You're right i got the wrong oil. But shouldn't it be 0w30? £55 at Opie (which is really £50 as there's always 10% off) https://www.opieoils.co.uk/p-92111-shell-helix-ultra-ect-c2c3-0w-30-fully-synthetic-engine-oil.aspx

    Oil Change - ££££

    Have you ever heard of Opie Oils? It's £33 for 5 litres. I'm sure Audi are buying it cheaper than that. So nowhere near £100. But don't let facts get in the way. I get it- you're rich and wasteful with your money. And i guess that's why Audi bend customers over because you'll happily take it...

    Oil Change - ££££

    Yeah they're not doing that. I do that with my local garage.

    Oil Change - ££££

    It's not the quantity of oil. It's the fact it's £18.50 plus vat per litre for shell helix u(ltra).

    Oil Change - ££££

    Just to update....the labour was less than an hour at £150+Vat per hour. So that wasn't the issue. It was the 7.1 litres of oil (shell helix) at £18.50+Vat!

    Acceptable mileage when in being serviced

    I've got a dash cam on my cars. It's always annoying when my old BMW comes back from the place my local garage uses for the MOT with the cables pulled out. At least Audi don't do that.

    Oil Change - ££££

    Ouch I guess the only consolation is you were using your car more than most!

    Oil Change - ££££

    I'm not selling my car. Not unless I win Euromillions I'm doing annual oil changes (I'm at 13500) regardless of mileage. I have had 2 services on the Audi plan so far. But can't see the vfm getting them to do an oil change. Maybe I'm just tight

    Oil Change - ££££

    Thanks. I'll look into that. I asked about the service plan (as my 2 service, service plan had been used up)and was given some number near £800. I was driving at the time so didn't pay attention to the details.

    Oil Change - ££££

    I'm old..£345 for an old and filter change is ridiculous. I don't have an M or AMG. But I don't feel any better knowing they charge that much too I'm not sure how they can do the MOT at that price when it must take longer than an oil change.

    Oil Change - ££££

    Car is going into Audi next week for first MOT. A reasonable £55. So I thought I'd ask how much for an oil change £345! Their hourly rate must be about £250 plus vat Think I'll get my local garage to do it with oil from Opie Oils.

    RS3 Stop/Start Not Working

    Okay - you've sold me on it! I'm guessing it's something to do with the dashcam i have. But who knows!

    RS3 Stop/Start Not Working

    Yeah i used to have a garage full of tyres (and still have some) from the fat datsun, x5 etc. but in this instance i forgot to ask for 'good' the tyre! But i've switched brands, so i'm not likely to use it. And i would have had to fished it out of their pile of tyres just to have to take it up...

    Brake Fluid Advice

    Okay thanks for that. I'll maybe just let Audi do it when it's in for subwoofer replacement next week. For the £10 extra - saves me the hassle of going somewhere else.

    RS3 Stop/Start Not Working

    I've had 4wd cars for the past 20 years* and always changed the tyres on the same axle. The X5 i've got is even more finnicky in that if the rolling radius is far out the transfer box doesn't like it and the car crabs. * crashed a RWD E30 325i (best car ever!) without LSD and on 14inch wheels...

    Brake Fluid Advice

    Car was in at Audi this week and they said the brake fluid needed changed every 2 years. So few questions 1) Is everyone changing brake fluid every 2 years. FWIW i've done 9000 pretty sedate miles (i'm 50 now!) 2) What brake fluid are you using? Most Audi specialists are charging near enough...
