My A2 TDI is ready for its first service (31500mls AVS) and I intend to do it myself. I know it has 1 year of warranty left but I just can't justify the labour charges that Audi demand. I am going to speak direct with Audi tomorrow and ask if the warranty will be invalidated at all if I use genuine parts? I know some people (especially dealers) are particular about FDSH but if the receipts have been in order it's something that has never bothered me in the past when buying a second hand. Also I can't see me getting rid of the A2 for some time as it is a great car and dealer s/h won't have that much of a bearing on the price of the car when I eventually come to sell it.
Here is my list of questions;
Am I correct in thinking the only service items required for its first AVS are;
Oil Filter
Sump Plug
Pollen filter
Long life oil.
I am in need of a new set of front tyres. The standard 185/50/16 are expensive and generally not in stock. I have priced up the 195/50/16 and they are roughly the same price as the standard items.
Has anyone used 195/45/16 size tyres or have any do/ don't reccomendations? They are a whole lot cheaper! The effective dia is slightly smaller (more accelleration?)
185/50/16 = 591.4mm
195/50/16 = 601.4mm
195/45/16 = 580.1mm
How do I go about getting the computer service indicator reset ready to start counting for the next AVS?
I need to fit a new set of fr discs and pads as they are very badly grooved. G+ Swedish quote £57 all in for a full set, has anyone found anywhere cheaper without buying ones made from cheese! I checked out Brembo and EBC but is it really worth it??
Does anyone have a CD with A2 parts/ servicing and repair available? I have one for my other car and motorbike and they prove invaluable for diagnosis and parts ordering etc. If you want to mail me.. [email protected]
Lots of questions, thanks for your time folks.
