B5 S4 - Needs Service

Post by jb7_uk » Tue Aug 28, 2007 11:18 am

As title, my 99 Pre-Face S4 needs a service. 106k Mile to be precise (the last one was the big 100k, so this should be a relatively minor one AFAIK).

Was hoping to get her up to MRC but as A) its a 2 and half hour journey each way and B) I can't get hold of anyone there either by email or phone for love nor moeny (must have tried a dozen times now... nothing :( ) I'm looking at other options.

Car currently has full, complete Audi Service History so if all else fails i'll take her back to Brighton. But, as i said MRC was my first choice, although i'm running out of time with them as i suspect they have a bit of a wait time for apointments. Thing is i'm going on Holiday in just over two weeks (13th Sept to be precise) and its a road trip round Europe. So, i really wanna get the car serviced before i go so everythings all tip top and fresh for the 2000 mile onslaught!

Aside from QST, are there any other places in or near to West/East Sussex that people would recommend??

Thanks in advance for any info you guys can provide,

Jim.

Why a service at 106K. Just change the oil and filter yourself and get it services at 110K.

only because thats the routine it's been running on, i got it at 86k with a fresh service, i had it done at 96 when it had the full 100k one done, that just seems to be the routine it's fallen into.

Also, i wanted to get a full service done before i go on hols as we're doing a 2000 mile road trip which includes a stop at the 'Ring.

I've sent S4woody a PM as Chip reckoned he may be able to help... hopefully he'll get back to me as that would be a bonus.

Cheers for the replies guys :thumbs:
