New S3 owner

[8obMor]

Well I am now a proud owner of an S3, wanted one for years and finally took the plunge, came from a Astra VXR which has nothing over the s3.

Just a quick question. I have always serviced my own vehicles, but I am a bit reluctant with the Audi and fell it may lose some value come sale time.

What are your thoughts ?

Bob

Is it in new/in warranty? If so needs to be serviced by dealer or independant using genuine parts?

It’s a used Audi approved car, has a one year warranty with it.

Nice day trip up to Loch Lomond or even Skye. Beautiful this time of the year, we have lots of great roads in Scotland.

Yes it is. Today is going to be spent giving the car a good detail, as I have managed to swindle the day off work

We will require more pics when you done, lol.

If it is under warranty then I would stick with Audi, once the warranty is over I would go with your preferred mechanic

I have a preferred mechanic who has worked on all my cars outside of warranty and never had an issue with selling them on with his stamp.

Perfect mate. I have a local indi that has always worked on my car so will use him after the warranty period and I will source the genuine parts.

You need to make sure that he can reset the mmi service details.

Depending on where you're located, there's plenty of areas to explore, but you probably know that already.

Great looking car. And another Scottish member.

I only picked mine up at the start of the month - had a few great drives to St. Andrews and up to Loch lomand.

What route to Fort William...coast or Glencoe , presuming your starting in the South, or?

While this thread has a Scottish theme - anyone on here know someone who can do some VCDS coding ? Edinburgh / Glasgow / Fife etc?

Thanks

Not sure how many of us there are on here in the Edinburgh area. I see a lot around the city but not many comments on here.

I see in your signature you used Mint Car care - what was your verdict on them ?

Thanks

I start in the south, and take a run up through Glencoe, always good for a few photos of the weather is nice.

I can thoroughly recommend them. Kenny is a really nice guy and knows his stuff. I'm in a rush now to get to work, but I'll try to repost the link later to the YouTube video he took when he detailed our car.

Me and @DrMal have discussed before as he's used them and it's a colleagues mate who runs it. They seem to be getting a good name. Still not been over myself though.
