To start a comparison of costs, please reply to this topic with:

- How much you paid for your first service (please state GBP or Euros + country)?
- Does that cost include anything other than the first service?
- Which model of A2 you have?
- Were you happy with the service/treatment received?
- Where you had the service? (optional)
- Anything else that is relevant - such as vehicle mileage at time of service...

If poss, please start a new topic if you wish you discuss any aspect of servicing but leave this topic purely as a section for people to answer the above questions!

£450 for a first servive although included a new key
which accounted for £150 of it
Dovercourt Audi Battersea who were very efficient,nice coffee :>)drove
me to the tube,called me promptly when ready, washed and cleaned the car etc
That said £300 for essentially an oil change etc is
not cheap
I wonder how much a Ford Fiesta service would cost to compare
 
For comparison, I had my 1.0L Corsa serviced yesterday at a main dealer (2nd service) and the total came to £210.
This included a load of filters and the oil - but still seems quite high for such a modest car.

Don't drink drive! Not only is it socially unaceptable, it also harms A2's.
Was a 1.4SE petrol. http://www.audi-a2.co.uk/uk14.htm http://www.audi-a2.co.uk/safety.htm
New A2 - Ebony Black, Red Leather, CC, Symphony + all the previous options we had.
 
Bargain price of £423 ;)
This included: first service (~£295), new front brake pads (~£113), new wiper blade (~£15)
Model: 2001 1.4 TDi SE, service carried out in West London.
Mileage: 23,194

Service was good despite the technician bending my handsfree phone kit speaker bracker wih his knee (below steering column)...and not owning up to it when I collected the car. Needless to say, they ended up offering to replace the bracket!

Are you all milionares?
I will be servicing my A2 soon so I phoned 2 nearest garages:
Slough- £254
St. Albans- £251
All for first sevice inclusive of car and Vat.

£210 for a Corsa! You have been ripped off!
I serviced my Puma at Fords and paid £99-£120 for intermidiate and £160-£180 for full service.My Puma in 6 years never broke down, never had any repairs or rattles unlike my A2. Those were the days...
 
Islandgreen - you are right. Either they are all millionaires or someone else foots their bill.

antonymark31 - Dovercourt Battersea? Try phoning them and asking them for their hourly rate. Wait while they waffle on about charging by units of labour etc. etc. I asked 5+ years ago and they eventually admitted to £67 per hour (100.00Euro) plus tax.

I went to Audi concessionaires Vanderhaeghen NV in Belgium to save money(!)
- First small service then was 84.87EUR plus 21% tax = 102.69EUR (equivalent to £56.86 plus 21% tax = £68.79) including everything.
- A2 1.4 TDi 75hp
- 100% satisfied - done while I waited. Loan of older Polo available for 25EUR (£15) per day.

Chivers ':)'
'02 A2 1.4TDi SE
 
- How much you paid for your first service (please state GBP or Euros + country)? £225 inc £10 for filter (Pollen?) £3 for filter (Oil?) and £32 for oil.
- Does that cost include anything other than the first service? No
- Which model of A2 you have? 1.4 Petrol SE
- Were you happy with the service/treatment received? Morning reception described as poor but afternoon staff were much better.
- Where you had the service? (optional) SUTTON COLDFIELD
- Anything else that is relevant - such as vehicle mileage at time of service...12300 miles, 18 months old, courtesy 1.6FSI A2 with 25 miles on clock.

2002 1.4 Petrol SE, silver with climate control.
Why are NEARLY all the A2s in Lichfield silver ? ? ?
 
I allways phone up several garages in advance
Here in Alkmaar *(the Netherlands)
Our Audi has to have a service and the brake disks + the brake pads have to be replaced.
AUDI *(local dealer called Martin Schilder)www.martinschilder.nl service normal about € 260 + € 320 for the brake disks and the pads totals € 580
Kwik Fit ( http://www.kwikfit.nl/) here can also do the job service cost 159 € + 270 for the brakes total = €429
Local garage *(www.primoto.nl) is a proper garage never have been any problems with them they are local for me nice guys excelent service charge € 380,- for both jobs which also includes APK *(our MOT)
Easy aint it the car is three years old out of guarantee and the local Audi garage is big enough so why pay extra for the same job.

£187.00 FIRST SERVICE PRESTON AUDI GOOD TO DEAL WITH INC VAT
BRAKE FLUID CHANGE @ 2 YEARS £69.00 INC VAT
NEXT /2ND SERVICE DUE IN 3,000 DOING THAT MYSELF
 
Hi, Beechwood Audi (Halesowen West Mids) wanted £250 - £270 from me, they charge £75 per hour. I decided that I could get my accountant or solicitr for a similar rate. I did the service my self, oil £40 (proper Castrol long life) oil filter about £10 (trade non genuine) flushing oil £4 AUdi don't do this, Brake pads £25 (non genuine and better than Audi original -brake fade reduced) and about 2 hours time in the garage including re-painting reusty brake drums. 9 months old 31k. A2 TDi Sport. I also spotted 2 further oil leaks whilst servicing which it went to the dealers to have fixed under warranty.
 
Hi Mr A.Smith.
i am under the assunmption that if you service the car your self your warrantee wil be invalidated. Correct me if i am wrong.
DEMO
 
The warranty is void if you use non genuine parts and do not service it at the correct intervals. If you need to make a claim within the warranty period they'll probably want proof of parts used. So make sure you hold onto your invoice for the genuine parts.

Audi Head Office confirmed this for me. Apparently by law you can now take any make of car to any garage.

I've already posted this on another thread but maybe useful:

I've been to collect the parts for the service, here's what you need and how much:

Part No. Description Price (Excl. VAT)

030115561AB Oil Filter 3.86
N90813201 Sump Plug 0.80
6Q0820367 Pollen Filter 10.81
ZGB115CLB00110 Castrol Oil 12.70 (per litre)

I ordered 6 litres, apparently a service needs 4-5, so then 1 spare for topping up.

I also ordered front brake pads:

1J0698151E Brake Pads 42.00

There are two types of brake pads depending on what model of A2 you have, the prices are £49.35 or £67.35 incl VAT.


All in all, not cheap but will still save quite a bit on Audi's price. I've been given a quote of around £100 from the garage so total cost £200 (excluding brake pads as their not part of a first service). Quite a good saving on the £330 Audi wanted to charge me.
 
2nd VSI service (100.000km/65.000mi), including cambelt change : 700 EUR (460 GBP).
Quite reasonable..
Strangely enough, the brake pads have (again) not been changed..? They do check them,
or so they tell me. I know my daily drive isn't hard on them, but to go 100.000km (or 150.000 as they will have to last till the next service) seems a lot.

£254 for first service, The service was only £154, and they charged me 47 odd quid for "long life oil" plus v.a.t, cheaper than what i was expecting actually!
 
Leemark! It doesn`t add up!
£154 + £47 = £201 X 17.5%= £236

Which Audi dealer? I`m due for my first soon.







1.4 sport/cc/cd/islandgreen
 
First service (2 years and 30000 km)
- 290 euro (Italy)
- included 11 euro gas-check (every year in Italy)

a stupid question: how many litres of oil in the A2?
I was surprise checking the bill: 42 litres!!!
ciao / bye
