Which independent car shops do German car owners in London prefer to go to? I have two Audis , an a4 and sq5 and want to find a good independent shop (ideally experts in working on Vw /audi and other German makes) to go to. Please share your experiences and preferred shops and what cars you take there, thanks
Recently purchased 2022 b9.5 a4 prestige. Asking owners here if they’ve experienced the known Quattro rumble issue. An Audi dealer told me the first owner had the AWD clutch replaced under warranty - assuming it was for the rumble issue. While at this point (56k miles) don’t notice anything and the car drives amazing it is one of those things that apparently do return? I’d like to ask if anyone here has had experience dealing with that and if there’s anything that can proactively be done, maintenance wise, to avoid its return. For context I don’t have manufacturers warranty anymore, but I do have a 3rd party warranty that I purchased with the car.
Just got my ‘22 A4 prestige yesterday. Love it so far. I had a question regarding the maintenance,
My car is at 89,800km or so and I’m due for the 90k service. I would have liked my first service to be done thru Audi, but they’re charging $1450 or something for this service. The main thing at 90k km is the “Ribbed V-belt starter / generator drive (including tensioner)”. Does anyone know how much that by itself would cost to replace or if they had the 90k km or I think 60k mile service done to theirs, what the price breakdown is? I’m debating getting serviced at an independent for likely way less, but thought to ask owners here how they went about this
