Hey Folks - well bought my A3 just under a year ago and it was on 28k, the selling dealer serviced the car and it is on the Longlife regime, the book has two longlife stamps in the book, the car is now on 40k and is currently at Poole Audi getting the DSG Oil changed, they were great BTW, price matched the local independent at £175 inc VAT and gave me a lovely A5 Cabrio as a courtesy car.
Whilst there they have also taken care of a couple of warranty issues that I have had but also mentioned that the Engine Oil could do with topping up and wanted to charge me £20 for the privilege, I know the 5w30 Edge oil can be had for £10 a Litre so will just take care of that myself.
I suppose my main question is when will I need the next service i.e engine oil change etc? I'm really not sure on the longlife regime and it's merits so may change the car over to fixed interval, however I kind of begrudge paying £150 for an Oil and Filter change that I could do myself for around £50!
Cheers
