    Having bought my Audi with no service history I've changed all of the fluids (inc transmission) and service components excepting these two (and power steering).

    Rang every other place and it was £70 whereas Halfords was £50 (+£4 disposal fee) so at 23% cheaper thought I'd share...mine booked in for 2 weeks.
    Not an offer but their standard price if both done together...and yes it is the pink/longlife stuff they'll use.

    If the power steering fluid change is less than £25 will get it done at the same time.

    Not affiliated but thought I'd share as pretty darned cheap IMO

    as long as they do it properly. i have known people think it was good enough to suck the brake fluid from the resevoir and refil it, or at best drain a thimble full from each nipple.

    It seems reasonable to me if it's done properly. The margin on that work must be razor thin
