Audi dealer MOT Offer

[limoncello]

It may be that not all the dealers are c**p, but i dont have much faith in Leeds Audi since i took my car there with a component protection issue, they denied all knowledge of what i was talking about, never heard of it, dont know what your talking about, but offered to look at the car for x pounds an hour - in 2 weeks time, (Warrington Audi said something similar). in the end Craigyb got me in at manchester audi the next day, who, did know and got it fixed in 30 minutes.

for MOTs I think i will stick to the little guys not interested in doing loads of work.

We've got a chain of garages down here in the South East called justmots.eu that ONLY do MOTs and no servicing/repairs at all. They'll adjust your headlight aim FOC but won't touch much else.

They charge £27 if you book 90 days ahead, which I usually manage to do - otherwise it's £38. Because they take bookings (incl on Saturdays) you can take it in and it's done while you wait with no messing about.

I used to spend half a Saturday queuing up at a local place that didn't take bookings and charged way more

I took advantage of the 'FREE' MoT at the local Aberdeen dealership as it was it's first Annual Inspection.

I got an advisory for lower link bushes - "may need renewing at next Inspection."

I disputed that with them as any movement should be a fail. Seems the 'FREE' bit stops them doing work in this case. I'm sure if I'd been paying for the MoT that job would have become mandatory!

bit of a C5 trait to wear the tyres on the shoulders before the middle

You mean inside shoulder? Its not just C5 but pretty much all Audi models( and Passat) that share similar suspension setup experience this problem as suspension ages or if is lowered. If You mean both shoulders then it is because of too little tyre pressure or too wide tyres for the rim.

I am sure it is just inside on Amars car because:
1. If it were both shoulders he would have shown both in picture
2. If it was that bad on outside as well he surely would have noticed that earlier.

Yep, just inside shoulder.

Mine wears the inside on the rear and the outside on the front, so having rotated them front to back I've got rear tyres with worn inner and outer shoulders and fronts that already have inner wear that are now wearing on the outside lol

I checked them this evening and they're nowhere near being through the carcase of the tyre
