Newbie to Audi and the forum!

Hi folks,

I'm a newbie to this forum and have had my TT since Jan this year. 

It's now done 4,000km in 7 months but is now informing me that an oil change is due which I think is very early?

As it was a 'new but showroom model' could it be that the '"start time" of countdown to service was several months before purchase and if so, what can I reasonable expect from Audi in your opinion??

I called my local dealer just to enquire on cost of an oil change and was quoted a staggering £350!!!

Than ks in advance for some advice.

 

Bill.

Welcome to the forum Bill, you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂

With regard to serving it depends on what engine you have. But on a lot of Audi's it's 2 years/20k or 1 year 10k depending on which plan the car left with. I suspect yours is on.the one year plan and I think you could be right about the countdown starting once the car left the factory. 

my advice would be to ring round the local Audi dealers to see which is cheapest and you may find that one of them may have an offer on for oil changes. 

Your other option is to take it to a local garage or Audi specialist and as long as they use genuine Audi parts and oil for the service, your warranty will still be valid. 

cheers

Hi Steve & thanks for the welcome,

After contacting my local Audi dealership that supplied the car they reset the service timer for me and so now I would expect the oil service to be in the new year based on the probable 1 year service setting.

I shall bear in mind the phone around advice when the time comes.

Thanks,

Bill.
