£159 isn't overly expensive, 4-5 litres of oil, oil filter & an hours time, by main dealer aswell including vat, its fair & yes you can get it done cheaper elsewhere, as with all things, but its all relative to what there expenses are for a nice shiny looking dealership etc, to entice people in & the whole portrayal of audi as a premium brand.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but 1hr labour to change the oil. I take 30mins using normal diy ramps.
Wholesale cost of oil, what £20 ish.
The other thing to consider, the £159 is with at least £30 of vat included aswell, which doesnt help whatsoever, but alas government & taxes huh.
If its not a Mulino Bianco Macine biscuit, then forget it.
Bung me your address, as I'm due to go back soon & then again all over here for xmas, then I'll ping you some in the post when I get back, they're nothing short of a crack addiction lol, which isn't a funny thing, but point made, they're lovely.
If I can't get them in Bedford (highest ratio of Italian's in the UK apparently) then I'll give you a shout.
These are my current favourites:

...can you do that??? I need to be more demanding.In all seriousness, I took mine to Audi about 2 months ago. Nearly choked at what they priced me for its first Oil Service.
Plonked a 5litre on the desk with a new filter when I got there and told them to get on with it.
I worked out they were going to try and charge me nearly 22.50+VAT per litre. Go Fish....
