Audi Service or done at home?
OK - car telling me a service is due (94K on the clock).
With it being 12 years old and of average nick, but having a full service Audi service up to the last one, is it worth continuing with going to Audi or doing it myself but finding someone local on here to reset the service reminder using VAGCOM?? I suppose the other question is how easy is it to do the plugs air and oil filter myself or is it better to leave it to the experts? I have two thoughts on this - Get Audi to do it and if I do decide to sell, it might make it a bit easier (piece of mind for the prospective owner) to pass it on, or realise that the price I would get would be low whether it was serviced or not so save the pennies and do it myself and pass this on with a reasonable sale price.......? What do you lot reckon

Spark plugs and oil/air filter on a D2 is very very easy. Get the parts from TPS and do it yourself? If in doubt, look for a guide on Audipages.

OK - moving me closer to doing it myself.
Last service was done by an independent (IVC in Leeds) who I found to be well priced and gave very good service, but the hourly charge is always too much!!! What about someone local that can reset the service indicator once done??

How much was the hourly charge anyway? Depends on location but I think £40 is about right.
