Magnet Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 Welcome to the Audi Owners Club ! Good to have you onboard. Hello Peter, Could you please let us know what your anticipated annual mileage will be, and what service history came with the vehicle, when it was last serviced (when and at what mileage), and what service items were renewed at that service, Also:- will you be carrying out your own servicing, having it serviced at a main dealer, independent, or local garage? Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter w Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 I'll do about 10000 miles per year and will get servicing done at an independent garage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 OK Peter, So you will need to get it serviced annually, and I find its best to get it serviced a month before the MOT is due, so the vehicle gets a good check over to minimise the risk of any undue surprises with the MOT. You didn’t say when it was last serviced and what was done at that service. This will be important to know what you will need at the next service. When you say -‘independent garage’, will that be a VAG independent specialist, or an ‘ordinary’ garage. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter w Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 It's a vag specialist in south shields I've booked it in for a major service and gearbox service as iam struggling to find any service history on the car at the minute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I guess you’ve asked your nearest Audi dealer for an E-mailed print out of the computerised service history. Probably worth having the VIN to hand Incase its previously been on a cherished plate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter w Posted November 19, 2023 Author Share Posted November 19, 2023 I never thought of that I think it was on a cherished plate I'll do a bit of digging see what comes up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Magnet Posted November 19, 2023 Share Posted November 19, 2023 I’ve found it’s often better to actually visit the dealership rather than try to do it over the phone or by E-mail. Take the V5 with you as proof of ownership. Let us know how you get on Peter. Kind regards, Gareth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
