Thanks Joe,
I have a few questions if you all don’t mind and please bear with me as this car I have is 10 years old, but my first Audi and I only purchased beginning of this month.
1) how easy is it to upgrade the mmi software? I am assuming it’s just a case of getting the upgrade software and letting it run? I did ask Audi when I took her in for a health check and they said no upgrade unless I have faults with anything? The reason for this is I like to have the battery indicator level to ensure the battery is healthy.
2) also asked about the keys registered to the vehicle, I have 2 remotes but no backup key given to me and in the manual after taking the vehicle I read that I need to unregister the key that is missing. Asked about this and they also told me that you should only have 2 keys and nothing is registered on Audi. This was told to me without him looking at the screen to even check. Is that also right?
3) as this car is 10 years old and has 53k I also asked about the different between long life service and normal service as I will only be doing approx 10k a year and as the vehicle has had 3 Audi services and then last 2 were ex Audi, he said that I need to bring back to Audi for a full service to get the service book back to Audi recommend service history?? What the hell is that about? I only asked what the difference was between the two services and whether I need to stick to long life service or not.
4) after my first and hopefully my last visit to this Audi centre I am looking for a decent garage in the Manchester area to take my Audi to now to repair the leaking oil bush and hopefully I will sort out the mmi so I can check the battery level indicator instead of relying on Audi telling me that the battery is on its way out due to not starting up straight away (£400)!!
That £400 and the rest of the ‘we recommend to change’ charges could go to another Armani suit just to wear when I have to go to Audi centre again.lol
dont get me wrong, I know it’s expensive to maintain an Audi (I have had luxury cars previously) but it’s the attitude they were showing me that put me off.
Hope someone here can help me.
regards
