Right then this may be a long one!!! lol
As you may/may not know I have recently purchased my 2003 A4 cab 2.5 tdi with multitronic and it is now due a service (I knew this when buying it and used it as a bargaining tool) It has now done 95,000 miles and has full audi dealer history and has been serviced under the 'long life' service schedule and although the cambelt was changed at the last service (phew!) the multitronic oil wasn't (booooo!) I have phoned round for a few quotes today for a major service and multitronic oil change, local dealer wants £544, local (highly recommended) independent was £330 and Stoke Audi quoted £460. So my main queries are....
1. Do I just pay the extra and keep the dealer history up to date?
2. As I will only be doing approx 6000 miles per year do I flip to the yearly service (and I usually change the oil every 6 months myself anyway!)
3.Is this a no brainer and I'm wasting your time posting crap like this lol ??
Any advice gratefully received!
Cheers, Mark
ps...anyone had any work done by central audi/vw in birmingham? they;ve been highly recommended and having spoken to them today i was pretty impressed....
