New to Audi Cars and to the Forum

[skiduk]

Hi,

Just purchased my first Audi 2.0 TDI Black Edition in Daytona Grey (with Tech Pack and Comfort Sound Pack) 33k miles (picking up next week)

So if anyone has some hints and tips, what to look out for and things on the entertainment system i need to look at, I'm more than welcome for pointers.

Obviously, when you join a car forum all you see is a list of "How to fix" or "New issues with" as the main post's which always makes nervous reading when you have just put some hard cash down.

Is there any main things i should look out for in the first month? and if anyone has a standard service cost at audi or 3rd party garage prices that would be useful to note.

My wife thinks its a bit old man car, is it really?, I love the look!!

Anyway i will be reading through lots of old posts to see what I have I got myself into..

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

It's definitely not an old man car. 

Regarding forums you'll find most of them will show the horror stories, as people don't come onto them when everything is working and good.

It's a shame i wish people did say whats good about the car, also when they have had good service from a garage etc.

I'm in Leicester so if anyone could recommend a good garage apart from the Main dealer in Braunstone.  I have read that chapmans in Wigston are good, but I have never used.

Are service plans pointless after a certain age or would people still recommend?

I'm near Leicester. I used AC motors on wanlip road in Syston. They're very good. You also have vee dub in Queniborough but I've never used them. Chapmans independent audi specialist in Wigston but again not used them.
