I am about 8000k short of needing my 90,000 k service. I am a relatively new Audi owner, I received estimate from the dealer yesterday by fax........$480.15....the only things I see them changing are the oil and filter and the cabin filter the rest is labour. Is this about right? Can I change the cabin filter myself? If so where can i get one? They quote me $61.87. Any help here would be huge.

 

You can get one from ECS. They also stock oil filters. I've got a Bentley, so if you need help taking things apart, let me know When was the last time your spark plugs were changed? That and perhaps lubing the sway bars and making sure your brake pads and rotors are still in good shape are the only other things I can think of.

 

what is ECS and do they sell online? I appreciate the offer but i live in Kamloops.

 

The cabin filter is simple. I bought mine at the dealer and swapped it out myself. I've got a B5 so I'd imagine that it's similar.

 

Here's ECS's website: http://www.ecstuning.com/. They sell reasonably priced OEM stuff.

I meant help in the information sense, by the way: I could send you diagrams and instruction from the repair manual I've got if you need info

 

D-Oh...a Bentley as in manual..........F***k am I brain dead sometimes.....that is a great offer and I will take you up on it one day. Thanks for the link, I found it earlier though. They are in the states. I wonder if there is a place here in BC that could fix me up?$480.00 for an oil change....maybe I bought the wrong car.....
