hi all,
does anyone here know what is required to be done for a 80000 mile service on B7 2005 3.0 TDI Quattro s-line and what are the approx costs at the main dealers. just want to have a rough idea before I start to do a ring round.
Also would it be cheaper if I took the car ro another VAG dealer , i.e. VW or Skoda
thanks
my mate got his a3 80k service done
he needed new anti roll bars an discs
as well as the service with the usual
oil,filters,etc
cost him £1500 :confused:
ouch: £1500, just had a rear shock replaced for the mot but that was only £60
yeah but his was mostly labour....cost more than the parts
for all the parts it came to £560
£90 per hour labour......thats why I dont go to audi,
I use a very good cheap VW mechanic lol
80k Service is a biggie (as far as servicing goes)
Oil, Fuel, Air, and Pollen filters. Complete check round the car. (Although a lot of them still dont remove the wheels :confused:)
You've no cambelt to worry about on the 3.0 as its chain driven.
I would think an Audi agent will quite happily relieve you of £350-400 for this service. Maybe more, dependant on what part of the country you are in.
You could take it to a VW or Skoda agent. Might help for you to pre-purchase the filters as most are unique to Audi.
A VW/Audi specialist might also be a worthy option, a lot of these guys have dealer backgrounds and should be reasonably knowlegable about the common rail V6 (probably more than a Skoda agent, as they dont use that engine.)

Thanks Lateknight, you've answered one of my main concerns regarding the cameblt or this case the lack of it. At least that doen't need changing. I've got a couple of independent VW/Audi places near to me so I'll contact them.
