Yup, sorry to dissapoint you. Audi's service book weight is always without driver, with all fluids. I tested mine on a local weighbridge for trucks, and at a race shop on digital corner scales. It is quite correct I'm afraid.
European governments happily under report weight. On the previous forum one of our famous members from the Netherlands, Sven, had his auto S8 registered at a very low 1725kg. But the Audi service book weight was much more.
I don't know why they do this.
If you can find a friend that will corner weigh it for you for free/cheap it would be interesting to confirm. Alternatively, go to your local waste disposal site, they should have a weighbridge for trucks, and will charge you £5 to weigh your car. Accuracy probably wont be great, +/-10kg?
