    Facelift Service Questions: Transmission Oil Change vs DSG Oil Change

    My car needs a service and as the dealer gave me real cause for concern last time (Haldex gauze clean...), I rejected their offer of "Transmission Oil Change" and I am taking it to a local Audi specialist for this MOT and service. Firstly, last service was exactly 30k, this time car only done...

    Does my car need a service?

    My car asked for its first service after about 9000 miles. It's now done about 27000 miles and hasn't warned me that it should be serviced any time soon. However, I've received a couple of emails from the dealer to say that the car is due (and now overdue) for a service. I suspect this is...

    Servicing in London (preferably north London)?

    Hi Gals and Guys, It appears that my 2005 2.0 S-Line Sportback that I've had the pleasure of owning for the last few months is up for service, well at least the service light has gone up!

    Keeping a Full Audi Service or going Specialist?

    My car is approaching its 3rd year and has 32K miles on the clock. As such it will require a Haldex Oil Change & a Brake Fluid Change. Is it worth keeping the service history with Audi? How much do they usually cost? (got no clue about servicing) Also, the car's computer shows 33 days for an...

    Is full Audi service history an important selling factor these days?

    My 2012 S5 has full Audi service history, it's due another service shortly and I'm trying to decide whether it's worth sticking with Audi or just going to my mate who's a local mechanic. He thinks I'm nuts for keep going to dealerships but I've got one eye on the fact that I'll be selling it in...
