I'm maybe even over servicing to some extent, but is that even a thing. Don't think synthetic oils are as good as the mineral oils of old and nothing seems as good as it used to, the air filter has less than 20k on it so maybe too soon to change but it's just the old value question suppose. As you've said, we tend to take time and do things properly if we service ourselves over a garage who just wants us in and out.....
Although I'm not a qualified mechanic, I work in oil and gas industry so can sort of turn my hand to most jobs, i would consider myself as good, if not more competent than some of the so called mechies ive worked with over the years, i have rebuilt engines and always done my own maintenance on cars older than this where resale value doesn't concern me. Suppose an oil change and the rest of the parts inbetween audi indy service certainly won't go a miss and maybe prolong the engine life to some extent....
I am planning on keeping the car so will also give me some peace of mind. Was considering selling and going electric but the q7 will take some beating and the q8 electric is far too expensive so keeping her, well until it starts playing up..... if🤞....far too many electronics, air suspension, digital everything and no matter how many times I change the oil and hoover the air filter housing, the electrical gremlins don't appreciate clean oil 😳
