As the title says really. Let's see what car colours you guys and girls think are the best. This can be from any manufacturer :) heres the first one: Audi sprint blue!

Or what about jaguars flamenco red?

But an equally good blue hue is Ford imperial blue!

This one seems too hard. The film was from Paris with love. Heres a new one...

Your welcome :) Hmm, has the issue started after the brake pads were replaced? I am wondering whether there is a procedure for unwinding or temporarily disconnecting the parking brake whilst brake pads or discs are replaced. And I'm thinking the correct procedure has not been followed hence the issue. I know on some vag cars with auto handbrakes the back of the car has to be jacked up evenly so in order to get the handbrake to work properly after brakes have been changed and that the correct tools have to be used to unwind the auto handbrake back out of the way whilst changing the brakes. I hope what iv said makes sense?! Cheers steve

Welcome to the forum Cameron:) i hope your enjoying your A1 :) I agree with Gareth, as long as the garage is vat registered and uses genuine parts then your warranty will be fine :) when I worked at vw a minor service was £169. Thatvquote from Audi is outrageous! Cheers steve

Hello Cameron, I share Dan's comments, and I feel he is being as polite as can be in his reaction to what many would consider to be an almost unbelievable quote! Question regarding whether you can get this done at a non-Audi garage is I think answered by yes you can, providing the approved "parts" are used by the (VAT registered) garage doing the work and they provide you with receipts for the parts and work done. If it were mine, I would first follow Dan's advice and get an alternative quotation from another Audi dealer. My suspicion here is that you might be assuming it requires an oil (and filter) change whereas the car is due for a service, and they have quoted you for the service and not simply just changing the oil and filter. Let us know on that Cameron, and if indeed you are correct with this charge for simply changing the oil, then we can advise you what options you have from there. No point in going through it all until this bit is clarified. Kind regards, Gareth.

Holy Cow, £270 to change oil and oil filter, I will do it for you for £250.... lol. Its a good question though. I would try phoning a couple local VAG specialists in the area and ask for a quote and get an email response on the warranty info. If however, its is not clear then at 2 years old I would not risk it and bite the bullet until the car is at least 3 years old. £270 though is a lot of money, let's over guess here, £10 for oil flush solution, £20 for a filter and £40 for 5 litres of oil. £200 for labour!?! In what can be done in 1 hour but maybe 2? Main stealers more like.

We have to events which are slightly local to you. There's: VAG Tuner Live on the 16th July at donington park and audis in the park on the 13th august at Deenes park, Corby, Northamptonshire if you'd like to display your vehicle at either show then let me know :) cheers Steve
