The RS4 has been in at 12000 miles this morning.

The car has moved from Pirelli to Pilot Sports - Massive improvement, massive massive. (And it was already great!)
Front Pads were done in - so they got done too.

I love the Audi Service plan because it has been in twice in 9 months (First Oil, now these) I have spent £122 per month so that's circa £1300 spent to date. It has saved me in the region of £700!! and I have had zero hassles along the way.

The bill this morning would have been £1800 and I've just walked in, worked on my laptop, and walked back out without using a bank card - I do like that.

Then Big massive respect to Jack Barclays, really really good treatment - this morning I got the tour, bloody amazing garage. Keep this level of care up JB and I will be a customer for life.

I continue to just love this car, nothing has gone wrong in 12000 miles, the experience of ownership has been painless, and it drives like nothing else I have driven. Whilst I have the RS6 on order I genuinely do not see the RS4 as an inferior motor, I actually put it pegged at the exact same level. It is just bloody awesome.... you see the RS6 has a different drama code, the RS6 only goes to 6500 rpm, and the gearbox does not compare to the RS4.

new pads after 12000 miles ? is that usual wear, as i'm on the originals and am just coming up to 20K! Changed to Pilot Sports too a few weeks back and the handling is better, although it was good anyhow. Maybe the ride is a little harder as a result, but not hugely so. Cost wise its the first big money spend (although its had the first service and I cant recall that cost) so maybe the service plan is something I should have gone for!

Audi Certainly were not surprised, they did ask if I enjoyed the Sport Driving function. To which I simply responded. Yes.

It seems the Audi Service plan works for me, is all I can say.

Looking at those figures it's no wonder my local dealer didn't really want to sell me the service plan.

So Boff the plan includes tyres aswell?

There are three levels miatang, I took the highest pack with includes tyres buddy.

And you can specify the tyre choice? That's pretty good

A further update will follow, but she's on order, I'll have to keep it out of my mind for a bit
