    2018 RS3 Servicing

    Similar experience with a main dealer.... Went in for first service, which they then cocked up all the scheduling, they then wanted me to return to the dealer 60 days later for the inspection service... when I questioned why it all wasn't done as one they really couldn't answer me, they offered...

    2018 RS3 Servicing

    RS3 can be on fixed (9000 mile/365days) or flexible (unto 19,000 miles, or 24 months, ECU will determine when it wants a service). This was confirmed to me by Audi UK after the main dealer moved me to the fixed services schedule and told me it was THE only way possible. Still maintain they did...

    Audi RS3 Saloon 8v (MY2018) Service Schedule

    This was my understanding too.. A bit more time on the phone, a bit more pressure applied to Audi UK, and an Audi UK technician has confirmed; On an Audi RS3 MY2018 (might be different for other MY's, can't see why though). its up to the customer as to what to have the car set too. In my case...

    Audi RS3 Saloon 8v (MY2018) Service Schedule

    Indeed, and the likely hood here is that I would do a service myself or privately - mid term, however retuning to Audi when 'required' to keep full Audi service history etc. This isn't so much about what /Should/ be done, its more about what is actually required, and where I can gain that...

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    Do we have enough people to take this to Audi UK as a group yet? My experience is they will only look at the case individually and not even acknowledge there is an issue, when pointing them to this forum they will not advise on other users issues, so if we take 1 case, but multiple people to...

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    Ive been in contact with Audi UK executive Office today after my complain was logged, unfortunately as the dealer found that my tracking was setup in factory specifications (in Audi's opinion - correct) They will not be taking this further and they will not comment on other issues. They don't...

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    Indeed they did find no issues on the alignment. Its basically case closed by Stafford Audi / Audi UK now as they say there are no other issues they are aware of. My tyre was changed (NSF) I cannot comment on how bad the OSF was as this was replaced the previous week at a local tyre fitters...

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    I chased the dealer today and the response back from Audi UK is that this is an isolated case and they are unaware of any other issues. We need to gather all data from people who have got the issue and make a note to Audi UK, I think ill also be pursuing this via Audi Finance too. Do we...

    Facelift Pirelli Tyre Defects - Response

    I had my car in at Audi where they have checked the tracking, it was all setup/aligned correctly and as such they still cannot work out why this issue has happened, I've now got a new tyre and ill see how long this one lasts, however it is raised as a case within Audi and I will be chasing it up...
