Seems suspiciously cheap tbh...although I checked the price of chewits and they have gone up a lot since I was a kid!!! [/B]Yeah, seems to be a lot of different prices in this thread though. And this is why I asked here, to get the real skinny on costs, not what the Audi website tells me :)...

Hi all, my cambelt is due for a change in 4k miles. Just wondering what I should be expecting to pay. I'd rather get it done at my Audi dealer but if people could give me an idea of what they have been quoted or what they've paid already, either Audi or independent. Let me know.

So I had a car service on Wednesday and had new brake pads and discs fitted to both rear wheels. My commute home is about 35 mins, 95 percent of which is all high quality dual carriageway. Yesterday, I was driving home and stopped at some traffic lights close to home and as I was looking in...

Ha ha, no, I'll not trade it for £10,300 but if I do, I'll call you. :) I think I'll just call back to him and talk through what he'd be willing to offer me against an Audi approved A4. My wife doesn't want a sports model again as the ride is too firm (insert wife-riding joke here), so I guess...

Just under 55k b19, not a lot, pretty average for a 3 year old I's have thought. :) Also, no mods on mine that might scare off the average punter looking for a regular car...unlike some I could mention:laugh: I've never sold privately so don't really fancy the hassle and wouldn't know where to...

I'm speechless! I'm not into modified cars at all but this is seriously good work and your car looks amazing. This is how mods should be done, not massive spoilers on a Pugeot 206 :) Very nice car. Congratulations on a job well done! Only thought I have is that with all the money you're...

So I had a service yesterday and asked the Audi dealer to value my car. 2008 (58) A3 sportback Sports trim 2.0L TDI (170PS) quattro Common-rail diesel engine Aruba blue When I collected the car he told me that it was unusually well maintained and looked after for a quattro car, a couple of...

My A3 2.0L TDI (170PS) quattro (facelifted version) has had two services (long-life oil) since it was bought from new in September 2008. The A3 manual isn't very clear on what is checked at service and the invoices don't really show anything other than the work done for changing oil etc. So...

Well glad to see I'm not alone, misery loves company :laugh: I should have stated in my original post so long ago that the car was parked on a fairly steep incline in our car park at work. So had I not applied the handbrake properly the car should have at least faltered a little as I was...

The Sport model seats are definitely nicer but the ride is definitely also much more firm (or is that just in my quattro?). When I bought mine in Sept 08 the SE and Sport had very different prices.

Excellent post, thanks! Interesting info there! :)

So dealer rang me yesterday, apparently the turbo is gone. Thankfully still under warranty! So couple of questions for you folk: What questions should I be asking the dealer re: specifics on the turbo fail? Is this going to lead to more problems in the future? How can I take 'care' of the...

So, yesterday Audi roadside assistance organised getting a hire car for me. I waited an hour before calling to see if I could get an update. I was told they would call me back, 30 minutes later I called again and was told that they couldn't see a confirmation on their system that a car had been...

Had the car booked in but they couldn't see me and give a replacement car (which I'd need) until the 21st. However, all that now superseeded by the fact that last night the car lost a lot of power so I called Roadside Assistance who came to me this morning. Turns out there is a fault with a...

Thanks eatdegrub, had to call Audi roadside assistance this morning because of loss of power in the car. They've organised a hire car and are putting it into the garage, a problem with Piezo injector #4. According to the guy who was out with us, this is a known problem on the early CR engines...

Anywhere near Cambridge, Newmarket or Bury St Edmunds would be good for me :) Not really close to you I see :D I bought the car (new) in September 2008 and can't remember offhand if it was a 2 or 3 year warranty tbh, have to check it out.

Hi all, My A3 needs a diagnostics check and service as my glowplug and emissions controls lamps are showing on the instrument panel :( Neither Bury St Edmunds Audi or Cambridge Vindis Audi can take my car until the 20th or 23rd of this month by which time the problem(s) could be a hell of a lot...

Thanks Scott, funnily enough, this morning the Glowplug light stayed flashing on my 35 mile commute and my emissions controll light came on and stayed on as well :( Both are amber rather than red (something I suppose). Neither of my local Audi garages can take the car until either the 20th or...

My wife was driving home tonight and had been driving for about 20 mins or so when the glowplug warning lamp started to flash. We think it was only flashing for about 10 seconds or so but on consulting the owners manual it says that flashing glowplug warning lamps are an indication of and engine...

Yeah I definitely won't be doing it myself. I'm the Frank Spencer of DIY and mechanics, trust me on this. I start hammering a nail into a wall, pretty soon I'm calling a plumber to fix the water pipe I damaged with the nail and then a brickie to replace the wall... Anyway, thanks for the...
