Sparky Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Anyone know the rough cost an Audi dealer will want for an oil change? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 About £60 for the oil, plus £10 or so for the filter, plus 1/2 hour labour. Thought of buying the oil from www.opieoils.co.uk and getting an independent to do it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 I did wonder, but it's the first "service" that's popped up on the DIS and I was told to make sure I get Audi stamps for at least the first year. Or is that the usual dealer bullcrap? The first proper service not due for another 8k miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mook Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 If the service now has popped up, it'll be because your car is on variable service intervals, so I'd assume you've either done lots of short journeys or thrashed the tits off it Get it done by Audi and get the stamp. Sounds daft to a lot of people, but when you come to selling it, it'll be that bit easier to shift, or if you part-ex it with an Audi dealer, they'll give you a better price witha full Audi history, rather than just a full history, which normally sees Audi dealers knocking around £500 off the price (they also can't resell the car - they have to trade it out).

Sparky Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 The S3 has two service timers - "Oil Change" and "Service". The oil change one is coming up now, after about 12k miles? And yes, thrashed the tits off it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S3Rob Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Think that's new for later models - mine only has the service indicator. Funny really - exactly the same engine! My oil and service was done at about 12k on AVS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparky Posted March 12, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 So knowing the dealers round here, we're talking £150! Shame when it's so close to the sodding main service! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
