Evening all,

I'm a long time lurker having previously had both the B5 and B7 RS4s. I'm now waiting for the B8 to arrive in mid November! (Suzuka Grey & panoramic sunroof)

I'm in the process of considering Audi Complete (servicing, Maint & Tyres), has anybody taken this out? £105/month

I've never had a new model before, could anyone confirm the service schedule please, I'm thinking I'd go through at least one set of tyres, pads and maybe discs in three years plus the servicing cost. I think that would all be pretty close to the £3780 that the complete package would equate to.

Any thoughts welcomed, cheers

If it's on variable, then one service every two years, unless you do stellar miles. Tyres are going to be 250 a corner. Even with pads it's not going to be 4k.

FWIW, I've just about gone through my first set of tyres now on 10,300 miles. The replacements are looking at £300 per corner fitted and that's on 20' wheels (OE tyres are Pirelli Pzeros, but I'll be replacing with Michelins)
Servicing is on long life and I beleive the first service to be around £7-800 and due around 18k miles

Suzuka grey with Pano roof is the same as mine, nice choice

Out of interest, what was your anticipated mileage to get £105/month ? I was quoted quite a bit more than that as I do around 20k/year

Thanks for the info,

I've got the £105/month from the brochure, I didn't realise it was milage dependant. I should be doing no more 10'000 per year. I think I might just hold off the servicing package and take the hits as they come.

Graeme - I've had a look at some of your pics while I'm waiting for mine to arrive. I think the white with back package and roof looks great.

I have this in my quote too form my car turning up in Nov. I limited to 5K as it stands and have the complete with a quote of #70/month. Apparently you can quit this at any time as it is a separate agreement. Still not sure if I will go for it yet as I get a good deal on tyres and servicing (which is fixed when less than 10Kpa).

Opinions??

Been quoted £122 per month for 12000 miles per year, considering brakes are £1000 for just front or back and tires are £1200 a set and Graeme's been through a set in less than £12000 miles I think that I will be going for it.

Also worth remembering, you can cancel it at any point as its not specifically attached the finance on the car (but you cant take it out after purchase).
Still on the fence about taking it myself - remember also if your car is going to do less than 10K it will be set to fixed service interval. Personally i would NEVER use variable servicing unless you dont car about your engine! - Talk to any Audi expert and they will tell you that variable servicing is the death of a load of audis!..
