Hey guys, I have an Audi A1 1.5litre 35TFSI S Tronic automatic S-line purchased in April 2019. My mileage is on 9305 miles current and I phoned up my local Audi garage to find out when I should have my first service. Services plan offered: 2 services, 2 oil changes, 1 pollen filter change (normally £711), £468 on a plan. They said I don't need a service until 2 years (April 2021) or 19,000 miles, which ever is sooner. Then the next one at 38,000 miles or April 2023. I feel a service every two years is a bit too long? My friend tells me oil should be changed every year at most. My old Toyota I used to get serviced every year, so this is why I'm posting. What are your thoughts? Any suggestions? Just trying to look after my car! Thanks, Luke

My car is 11 years old but the total mileage is only 28,000 - current mileage less than 3000 miles per annum. I try to do minimal short journeys and mainly use it for longer runs (50 miles +). According to the Audi service book, a number of additional service items (e.g. cam belt replacement, change brake fluid etc) should be carried out either by age or mileage, whichever comes first. When I first bought the car I was on variable service intervals but then changed to fixed service intervals, which I have continued to use until now. I had the cam belt, water pump and altenator belt changed after 5 years - the belts that came off the car looked, to me, to be in excellent condition. According to the book, I should now be replacing these again. I would be interested to hear members views on whether or not the 'age' criteria needs to be strictly adhered to in situations like mine.
