The nearest garage to Zurich that specialises in RS4's that I know of is here in England. Sorry, that is no help to you at all is it?

If there are no indy garages near you, maybe you'll have to use a stealership.

As for VagCom, you can buy the genuine leads and use your own laptop to run diagnostics...it might be a wise investment for you anyway so that you can check your car regularly yourself. If it shows faults then some of them you may be able to rectify yourself and so save you time and money in going to a garage.

Bastos, where are you located? Having problems with the car?

[bastos]

hallo guys.. thanks for the replys... i live in zürich and im filipino... so im new here and decided to buy an rs4... just wanted to find a good garage nearby and have it checked.. i saw some but they look expensive... my car passed the MFK check up here this june... and know, for my peace of mind... i want it VAG-COMed and an "all mechanicals" check up...

what you guys think?
peace

[bastos]

wait i forgot... it has a bent wheel..

Sportec garage may be an option. They're close to the airport. I have VAG but cannot check anything else. I just use it for peace of mind before I take it to the garage...to avoid 'misscomunication'...

[bastos]

is it easy to use? i want to buy one... but its not on my budget right now... i just want a quick test of the sensors and DVs etc... for peace of mind... hehehe... you know

[bastos]

my options at this time are.. Sportec and RS_werkstatt

bastos - if you already have a laptop then the £180 (or whatever it is nowadays) that you invest in a genuine vagcom lead will be the best money you ever spend on your car! As R12 says, it saves "miscommunication". If you have other VAG cars in the family it can be used on those too.

Here is a list of distributors: http://www.ross-tech.com/distributors.html

You can also look into VAD (http://www.vadmobile.com/index.htm). If you have a PDA (plus proper cable) you're set. Ross is a good option as well as mentioned by Paul; it is indeed the best money you can spend.
