Hi James Thanks for this. Perhaps I was being a bit cynical when I described it only as an "oil change"! But looking at the inspections that will also be carried out, I'd trust myself to do them, and I haven't worked on a car since I had MGs back in the 80s! They are what they say - visual inspections, no adjustments or replacements. And I have called two other dealers - price went up to £405.00 so I guess I'm stuck with it. Many thanks Geoff

Hi all My first post on this forum, so hello to everyone! I was about to say that I am the proud owner of an A5 Diesel 3.0 Quattro convertible which I bought a few months ago when it was 1 year old and had done 9000 miles; but now that I've just got off the phone to the dealer to book it in for its first service I'm not so proud! £399.00 for what is a simple oil change and, if I'm reading the service manual correctly, might not even involve a filter change! Is this the going rate for a first service on an A5 Quattro? It seems like absolute money for old rope! And advice gratefully received Thanks Geoff
