A4 2005 tdi servicing costs at main dealer
Discussion
My 2005 2.0 tdi is due a service and was thinking about taking it to my local Audi dealer but before u book it in or ask about costs was wondering what you guys paid through Audi. Mine has 58k on the clock. My previous BMW had inspection 1 and 2, wasn't sure if Audi dine something similar. Thanks.

Fixed price servicing for vehicles over 3 years old upto and including 2.0L
Cam belt is £329
Service from £99 to £249.
And a free MOT.
Ignor the "Dont take it to the Stealer" comments, and get it to your local Audi centre.
Book enough in advance and they will collect and deliver your car from home or work and bring out a nice new loan car for you to use.

I'm so slow today.Definitely worth getting your cambelt done. At 5 years old it will have degraded over time, and come resale it's a selling point as well.
If the cambelt goes you're looking at a big repair bill. I'm sure the Tame Tech will explain what goes when the Cambelt goes.
Maybe also worth have the water pump changed as well. When I had mine changed last year the only additional cost was the pump, nothing extra for labour as it was readily accessible.

Audi will do what ever you tell them too.
They will never change anything without your authority, so if they ring and say the car need this and this, its going to cost £X's you dont have to have it done. So yes you can have the belt done at a later date if you wish.
The point is, the service interval for the belt is 75k miles or 5 years old, which ever occurs first. Even if you only had 30,000 miles on the car the belt would still have aged five years.
Its highly unlikely to break if you leave it say 12-18months, or until it gets to 75k if thats sooner. Above that and your pushing it a bit.
If it were to break it will do £0000's of damage to the engine.

Still slow today.
The pistons hit the valve, you will need a new cylinder head, and if the pistons are damaged too, maybe a new engine. Heads about £1000 + 15hours Engines about £3000 + 22hours. Belt is £349 all in.
The red bit hits the blue bits.

But the red bit is going up and down 20times a second, so its a big mess.

OK why the cost diffrence, er where to begin.
Most audis have variable servicing, that is the cars dash says it needs a service, It will say service between 9000 and 19000 miles, depending on how it is driven and resultant calculation of oil degradation. Or if you really dont do any miles at all and it hasnt said service yet, one is due every two years.
Unlike most manufacturers with a set interval for service every 10,000 or 12,000 miles.
The Audi car can be set to fixed or variable, but most are on variable unless a customer has specifically asked for fixed. If it is on fixed the dash will still say service, but it will be every year or 10,000 miles which ever ocurs first.
However there are other milage dependant extras as well
this is a rough guide, differs from car to car.
19/20k the pollen filter is done.
40k the fuel filter is done diesel, (spark plugs if petrol) + 20k item
60k the air filter is done, + the 20k item
80k the 20k and 40k items are done
100k (as 20k)
120k 20k + 40k + 60k items.
SO why the price difference.
£99 oil and filter change + safety inspection only.
£249 can include the air filter + fuel filter and or spark plugs + safety inspection.
I beleive its an extra £25 for the pollen filter.
Hope this makes scense.
