2 1/2 hours labour- fair enough
Filters,wipers , oil all changed-perfectly reasonable
Wait for it...........

The plugs ,and labour for the plugs alone , were £310 [img]images/graemlins/mad.gif[/img]
This was EXTRA to the service costs.

Feckin spiders! I don't remember my 18k service being that expensive, I guess the total of the two must have been in the £550 region (or higher)? I'm sure I'd have known if I got hammered for that much at 18k.
Got 2k until next service @ 27k. Not looking forward to it now. [img]images/graemlins/scared.gif[/img]

I think you will find your R32 has very similar spark plugs, only 6 though [img]images/graemlins/033102bigblink_1_prv.gif[/img]

Guys
Take up the offer of paying £90.00 per month to Audi for a full service maintenance and tyre contract. It's a bit painful, but worth it over 3 years.

I never got the service offer- I did ,however, take out Audi tyre insurance. I got my full allocation of three new tyres in the first month [img]images/graemlins/thumbs.gif[/img]
- which means that I now have to pay for my tyres- [img]images/graemlins/033102bad_1_prv.gif[/img], pls see other post .

Interesting, I've never been told about this! Any more details Pete?
I wonder how much that £90 a month goes up to after the warranty runs out - if it's not too much it might be
very worth it!

Chris... I am not sure what the cost would be post warranty. The beauty of it is that you can turn it on and off when you want. I don't believe there is a minimum time you have to pay your wonga for, but it is just so convenient. For example, I have scuffed the wheels twice since I got the RS6, and just call my dealer, they book it in and it's done. Thats £225.00 not "saved", but taken care of without any hassle.I do get on really well with my dealer I suppose cos we have bought an A8, S8 and now the 6 from them.
