Service Time
So car is going in for it’s service on Monday. 4th birthday present I suppose... old girl has 22k miles on the clock
Have asked for them to address the following - should I ask about anything else?:
(1) gearbox oil
(2) A/C recharge
(3) dust & pollen filter
(4) panoramic roof service
(4) brake discs and pads
(5) brake fluid
They’ve also suggested I get the air filters replaced, but i’ve Passed as I think I might go aftermarket... any suggestions, or should I stick to OEM?
Lastly, I’d bought some Goodrich brake lines in anticipation of the brakes needing an overhaul but Audi of course won’t fit non-OEM parts.
What should I do - is it better to get discs and pads from somewhere else and get an Indy to fit them with the hoses? If yes, any recommendation in north Surrey?

Re: Service Time
I'm leaning towards getting Audi to do the service work (and getting stamps in the electronic book as it were) and using an indy for non-service items
Audi prices are getting a bit crazy. I've done the service plan from them that covers two services for £595; still not that cheap but cheaper than the prices they quote.
How much are they quoting you for this work? £3365 for the work below
Service £675
Gearbox £225
Brake fluid £85
Pads and discs £1275 + £975
Sunroof £130

Re: Service Time
Thanks - Not got a quote yet off them. They will revert tomorrow once they’ve seen the car. The front pads will need doing for certain. I think discs might be okay.
If it’s just the pads then there is no point paying their prices.

Re: Service Time
Wanted to change my discs - but I reckon they have 2 years left in them. Car has done 25k miles. Pads are circa £160. Get the service package if you can though - 2 services for less than what they'll charge you for one

Re: Service Time
So....
Front discs and pads need doing as an advisory under the MOT. Wear sensor just about breaking through on the pads. Discs alegedly 75% worn although they didn’t give me the measurements.
Price... £1,365.
What are people’s thoughts?

Re: Service Time
Need to measure disc thickness. 34mm max to 32.4mm min
Discs can be bought for £700. My Indy has just quoted £135 for pads fitted. Parts seem cheap. He thought so too

Re: Service Time
Looks like the £1,062 they quoted you for discs and pads was pre-VAT. That's actually a cost of £1,274.Sammyb349 wrote: ↑Mon Feb 25, 2019 9:16 pmTime to report back...

Re: Service Time
Weird replying to my own post, but.....
Had a Porsche Indy change front pads and front suspension parts. Cost of pads was £81 plus VAT. Wow. All in £560 including wheel alignment. Audi wanted £800 alone for the suspension work and £1300 for pads and discs
As the friendly Indy said, at that price I can change pads and discs when the discs eventually need to be done
