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?

?

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

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.

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

Perfect - will look into it.

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?

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

Will get the disc measurements. I got a quote from Crewe Audi.

2x front discs = £732
2x Front pad sets’s = £330
Total = 1062

For air filter - might go aftermarket... any suggestions, or should I stick to OEM?

Looks like the £1,062 they quoted you for discs and pads was pre-VAT. That's actually a cost of £1,274.

Cheeky...

Ended up not getting the pets from Crewe Audi. Perhaps should has asked JB to match though

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

Just got my a few bits done this week..

Service (plugs too)
Gearbox oil
Final drive oils too..

Added new tyres also.. heavy week of spending
