Scott's Akoya Silver A8

[ScottD3]

Booked in with Audi today for a interim service and AC service.

See what their checks come back with. I'm not looking forward to that.

Probably nothing as they don't seem to check the whole car unless you specifically ask them too.

The lady on the phone said they do the checks.
I will mention it to them anyway, be nice to get a full check.
Might give me a few more things to fix.

I can almost guarantee one item, doesn't seem to matter which garage or car, I nearly always get an advisory stating I need new windscreen wipers - got one once from a Mini dealer, the same dealer whose parts department had supplied new wipers just 2 weeks beforehand

Back in the late 90s when I had three new A4 in three years, I always ended up paying for new wipers and screen wash at the first couple of services, even when the wipers were still in good nick. After that, the first thing I said to them at each service after that was 'do not replace the wipers and do not add screenwash'. Since I now have a '01 A8, it goes nowhere near an Audi garage. Shudder to think how much they would sting me for.

I suspect they will say the wipers needs changing because they do but I'll do it my self and get a repair kit.

Front tyres will be on the list and possibly a front control arm or two.

A quick pre-wedding wash i think.
Don't want to drive home a married man in a dirty 8.
