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?? :)

He's full of crap. My dealership informed me that oil/filter changes were in the $40 range.

If true, then that $750 'maintenance package' was a very poor value for you.

Besides, you can get those done at any garage.

With the OEM-certified oil? Probably not. Perhaps you should start to Google "Audi Sludge"

Oh, and I'll even make it a bit easier for you:
