Oil filter

Pollen Filter

Air filter

Spark plugs

Gearbox oil change (only if multi tronic)

Brake fluid change (every two years)

Cambelt (if 5 years or older an not done yet)

Cambelt is about 3.0hrs service about 2.2 + 0.6 for the brake fluid so that a good £500 + vat on labour.

So if you want to DIY then Euro car parts for parts prices, just put in your reg and have a look.

Thanks to Audi UK making all the dealers do it for a fixed price, you should be able to get it done much cheaper than that. Ring your local centre for a quote. IF you still think its to steep, ring round the local indys.

We had the identical service done on identical car (04 1.8T cab) last year for £199 as the fixed service at Audi.
They also had a free MOT test offer on - which ours failed due to a number plate light out.
'Would you like us to fix it Sir, it will be £56'

I bought the bits and fixed it myself, local indy did a free retest.
Sorry but £56 is seriously taking the piss.

Next day it broke down.

A coilpack had gone. They did repalce it FOC but I had to get it towed in.
