Audi service charges?

<< < (2/3) > >>

What engine is it? It can't be a 4 pot as Audi engines are usually longitudinal, therefore all the juicy bits are quickly exposed to the service technician like a lady of the streets.

If it's a funky V6 or something that needs to be put into the 'service position' (i.e. bumper and rad pack off) then the juicy bits require more cash to expose, like an only fans chick.

That is exactly why I am baulking at the price - it is a Longitudinal 4 pot diesel with OK space at the front - so unsure why so much
I have got a trusted garage lined up, estimating £225 for labour, and will source the parts/kit from TPS.

I guessed the £1200....madness.

Even taking 10% inflation into account, that is a ludicrous price, especially given it's not even close to the spanner wrestling match as the transverse 4 pots.

Welcome to Audi ownership I guess.

It's just German cars in general isn't it.  A mate of mine had the engine blow in his M135i recently. Bought it from new, 40k miles old, completely stock. BMW basically said screw you, £20K for a new engine, thanks. And oh, that'll be a £1500 fee (not disclosed at the time) for taking your busted engine out and inspecting it on top.

And the best bit is the engine let go due to a known design flaw with all the petrol & diesel straight sixes (sh*t main/big end bearings and sh*t oil control to them) but they were still like, yeah, bugger off mate. Not even the faintest hint of a goodwill gesture.

Anyway, slightly OT but, baaaaaah, screw German cars. I'm buying a Dacia Duster  :driver:
