newbie servicing advise

[zeshan]

hi was wondering if theres anyway of finding out when the next service is due on a 2004 a3 tdi?
Also was wondering what is the average cost of audi doing a water pump and timing belt service, isit right that it should be changed at 80k?
Thanks

LOOK in you service book
As for audi doing you work just give them a blank cheque
dont bother with audi go with a independant thrust you will only notice the difference in your bank account. :icon_thumright:

service book only tells me when the last service was not when the next one is???

timing belt on a TDI i was told should b changed at 60k...its all in the front of your service book what should get changed and when...if u want to know how many miles to the next service push the button under the clock when ur stationary, they will show u how many miles u got left till the DIS tells u need a service..

Correct now look in the other handbook and that will tell you your service intervals. then you will no.

Yeah Audi are expensive had mine done there £400 ish for the engine and haldex, they then found out that the oil sump, torsion bars and front brake pads, plus a few ancillary items needed replacing bringing the grand total to over £1200!!!
Luckily I had a warranty with a third party company that have agreed to pay for the additional work

However I can in no way fault the customer service treatment i recieved.
I will look for an independant Audi specialist next time, anybody know of one in the Bournemouth area??
