They had no idea really what I was talking about, kept repeating "No outstanding recalls".
When they had a slight understanding they said it will have to be booked in for a diag before any work is carried out. That's £60 for 30minutes work.
After that, if it is deemed that a update is required they will charge me accordingly for time taken in doing the update.

Are the Audi service front of shop guys all reading from scripts, I also went in helpful to them as you did, with codes, numbers, known faults only to be told the exact same thing, and I got charged for them confirming my faults and none of them fixed and I have a feeling your Audi dealer and mine would charge you for not putting a single thing right.
But I do like the sound of what the guy at Audi UK said, knowledge in this game is confidence, a guy that tells you he don't know what your on about despite being knowledgeable but asking for money for a simple scan which you can do for free dozens of times a day if you choose, well you've come to the same decision as I have, better to walk away! The forum is and the internet is where it's at.
Regards, Mark.

Future Plans:
Selling my current Audi A8 Quattro Sport and replace is with a newer D4 Audi A8L with the 4.2V8 Twin Turbo setup once again it must be black. I'm looking for one with the options added where it has the rear recliing seats, with heated outers. Bose speakers minimum and B&O's if affordable. Rear and back door sun blinds prefered.
Planned Mods:
Upon the arrival of my A8L D4, I will be once again having the ECU remapped to a performance setting over economy. Rear Tints as dark as can go whilst also tinting the front windows with a medium tint. Once again I will be purchasing lowering links for the air ride suspension and setting it at 55mm lower when in comfort as my desire rideheight over standard. Alloys will be 21" however the one current most likly to be the next car already has a brand new set of 2016 S8Plus wheels on it.
