this is why i service things myself

obviously wont be going there for anything whatsoever

Whats the mileage of the car , and what is the dealer recomended service interval of the air filters ? This is what happens with the extended service interval vehicles ....nothing gets done by dealers and by time it is ready for such and such most owners are using independant garges .


I see this stuff all the time ...cars coming from dealerships after 2 / 3 years with all the filters in a right state.

car has 66,000 miles on it now
i do around 6,000 a year

car should have major service now at a cost of £500 from dealer
but that didnt include the pollen filter

last service was only a minor one so im assuming only oil and filter changed
that was 12,000 miles ago

did everything myself and decided to replace the front brake discs and pads while i was at it
so whomever buys it now the car should be spot on

Ditto with my D4 albeit a 3.0 TFSI petrol.

Mine had a minor service prior to purchasing in April. As soon as I got it, I did the spark plugs and air filter with OEM parts from TPS. I also did the rear pads and discs. The oil was very clean when I got it so I know at least that was done.

Still another good few months until I need an oil service. Will either get it done at my trusted specialist or Audi under their fixed price regime.

again when i bought my car
the oil was still very very clean ,so had to have been very recently changed

not sure how bad your air filters were but i was and still am amazed at how many leaves and werthers original packets were inside the airbox

i still prefer to do these kind of things myself then i know they have been done
