Good Points

Pre-owned with 6000m on the clock. We bought it two years ago with Audi Dealership guarantee. Economy. Huge space. Well finished. Long service interval.


Bad Points

1. Our 1st service in July this year cost nearly £600 for an intermediate, oil & filter change and new brake pads.
2. October 2007 Head light bulb failed. Could not access. Service book recommended dealer install. Cost £56 (!) from Audi Exeter.
3. Remote locking just failed. Any ideas?


General Comments

We've got a Audi A2 1.6 FSi and it's a great car, but service costs are very high in my opinion.

    I agree that Audi Service costs are VERY high.
    There is an answer (although if you have outstanding warranty it will invalidate it). Find an independent Audi / VW specialist - there are plenty about! I use one for my 03 reg A2 1.6 FSi and his labour costs are approx.1/3 of a registered dealer (c.£35 / hour versus anything from £85 up to £100 / hour)!
    The garage owner is an VW trained techy and his two operatives are Audi trained. I was worried about engine management software but as the A2 is now a discontinued model all the software releases, safety updates and troubleshooting manuals are apparently available to independents (providing they subscribe to VW / Audi). For piece of mind, he only uses genuine Audi / VW parts - still expensive; but for a service labour will be at least 60% of the bill.
    Further help and advice is readily available via the A2 owners club - look it up on the web (www.A2OC).
