Repairs or maintainence? For routine maintainence, you're looking at $80 oil changes and $400+ 40k service due to the dsg. It also has a timing belt rather than chain so that needs replacing (probably not an issue for Lloyd with the low miles he drives). For repairs, we've between bitten by a high pressure fuel pump failure and clogged dpf / egr filter.

$80 oil change? what the hell kind of oil are they using, gold injected?? :)

Silver Slimer
80$ oil changes make sense if you're using synthetic oil (as I do) and get the filter replaced and everything else.

Nashton
I would have been getting synthetic oil and a filter change for $45 plus tax, if I didn't get my $750 one time service fee.

$80 for an oil change is just another figment of his imagination.

Castrol synthetic: nearly $50 for 5 litres of oil.

Before you spend a dime on the labour... ...and assuming you only need 5 litres.

Your Q7 needs 8.2 litres if it's the TDI V6...

...9.5 if it's the TDI V8.

Can you do that math, Nicolas?
