I had this issue with VW mike with a golf R and I had a non vw stamp in the book. Car was out of warranty by a few weeks. They were more concerned if genuine parts were used in the service and if they were vat registered. All worked out okay and had the job done on the house.MikeFish wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 8:57 pmDon't be too quick to write off main dealer servicing due to prices. A car outside of warranty and needing a new engine or other major work due to a genuine defect could still be covered by Audi or at least get a contribution if it has full main dealer history. A car with no Audi stamps wouldn't stand a chance.RS4LAD wrote: ↑Mon Oct 29, 2018 1:34 amDon’t hesitate to let mrc stamp your book/digital history I was in a similar situation. I’d much rather experts who see these cars day in day out work on my car than young clueless apprentices at audi. In fact when I look at high performance vag cars now I actually look out for mrc invoices and history.Bund wrote: ↑Sun Oct 28, 2018 11:13 amMy car is due a service on time on the dash which is slightly annoying as it was last done in March 2017 on a long life and hasn't done many miles since by Mart or myself.
When there was a good offer by Tesco I picked up the right oil cheaply. I called Audi West London first who are saying that their group now wont allow owner to supply oil(might just be RS cars I cant remember), I then called Jack Barclay around Wimbledon who said the same as their policy changed last month.
I'll call a few others but wondered if others are finding this all over the UK? I would have liked MRC to service the car but having full Audi history till now is putting me off although I know its unlikely to be as thorough as the MRC guys doing it.
There are brand new r8’s rs6’s rs7’s etc having first services and maintenance work at mrc.
Come resale those in the know will not give a damn about full Audi history and will appreciate the MRC stamps
I had my gearbox replaced free of charge on my old Alfa 156 gta when the car was outside of warranty but they checked if it had full dealer history first.
Now it may have been the case that I got lucky and was out by a few weeks which is why they covered it as a gesture of good will. Who knows
