I guess they're called stealers for a reason!

I estimate the last time I had a stealer do anything on one of my cars was in 2008, only because an Indy couldn't figure out a re-occurring lambda problem I had on my old S4.

I stopped using them after I found good independents, and one particular instance where they wanted >£300 to resync a transponder key with the car. I found out online I could do it for free!

It's a lot better than £349 !!!

And, my car then has a full Audi service history which in my experience is worth a fair bit at resale or p/ex time.

Mytyres.co.uk can do 12L of that oil for £66.60 delivered.

Opie won't price match though, I asked when looking for a different type approved Fuchs oil.
Sorry to dig up and older post, but just wanted to say thanks to Sam for the mytyres tip, and also point out a good deal. Hadn't considered mytyres for oil before.

Just ordered 21 litres (20L canister and a 1L bottle to keep in the boot) of Fuch Titan GT1 5w40 for £76.10 delivered :thumbs:

Works out at £3.62/litre
