hello sifus.

today i called euromobil and they quoted me RM2.7K ++ for 60k mileage .

the car is already above 2 yrs.

so its no more warranty.

is it advisable to go back service or others?

2.7k is not a small amount for "service"

At least you can list it out what is in the 2.7k quote. I was quoted 7k for my vw polo 9n at 80000km, I go outside workshop for 2nd opinion.

hmm..

i have no idea cause i asked how much for them to service the A4 on the 60k mileage.

wow 7k...thats crazy bro.

how much did u saved for going 3rd party workshop ?

yeah man...i was shocked when i heard of that amount lol.

so i wonder if its worth to go back there.

I dont think 2.7k service is expensive for 60k, most probably intermediate or major service. You are driving conti not jap, so accept the fact or take risk servicing outside which is cheaper

That high price tag must include things like replacing the timing belt for example, so you pay for the parts and for lots of work. Basically it's not that easy that you can let any other workshop do it.

Of course you can go to an outside workshop, but perhaps they won't replace the part. Or they replace it with an imitation that won't last. Or they try but don't know what to do and damage other stuff. And on and on and on. I know that my SC checks my car thoroughly, so that parts can be ordered in time and be replaced before they cause further damage/standing by the roadside.

I don't know how good your Euromobil SC is, there are SC that will cheat too, mostly heard that about Japanese SC. But if you chose not to go there, find a VW/Audi specialist that knows exactly what he is doing. Might not be that big of a saving though, I don't know.

Join Club Audi Malaysia in facebook. Usually we send to our club workshop in Autoreign Sunway. More realistic price and detailed quote there. Own a Audi Q7 now

without listing down what they are doing for the 2.7k, no one can advise you. it could be very value for money, it could be cut throat who knows

But there are plenty of audi specialist outside who can do a 60k service

Did I read wrongly or what? Audi is still using timing belt ah?

even 'outside' workshops also cheat.. there are good workshops and there are bad workshops. knowing your car a little bit more is a good start. this way you will know what is necessary to replace/service. knowing where to source genuine parts with lower price tag than SC is a bonus

RM2k ish for a major service sounds normal.. ask for the breakdown list.

I was just giving an example. I don't own an Audi, and it could be different for different engines. Didn't VW at some point switched back to timing belts? In any case all I wanted to say was that there is probably a reason for that high quotation. 60k should be a major one, that pricing might be justified (though it does sound a bit high to me).

60k mileage 2.7k is normal la. You are driving an Audi for Christ's sake.

Even D Segment is normal to charge upwards of 1.5k during major service.

Merc/BMW might even cost more than that i reckon.

Just do the major service and keep your warranty. Or next we're gonna see you open a thread complaining Audi voided your warranty when you tried to claim.

7K?? Can you tell what they replace?

It's probably cheaper to push your car off the cliff, claim insurance and use the 7K for downpayment for another new car!!!

Haha...true also...if no money, don't buy expensive car.....like getting high-maintenance girlfriend...unless you are loaded, think twice..

2.7k i fast fast take and do

go outside instead of 2.7k you will end up spending 3-4k, they will break stuffs while fixing then blame it on old age, from normal service become major overhaul

Many of them buy car without understand maintenance cost, especially out of warranty. Or they set their expectation cost is more or less like jap.

Just to share...my friend peugeot 308 ignition coil pack busted....cost him Rm1600 , plus dunno what. Total Rm2k. How much is ignition coil pack for say a Vios or City or Forte? Just wanted to know for comparison.

O thought your ride is a Accord ?

After warranty not worth going back lar. Or ask of the itemise list, check from third party workshop and decide from there.

Kia Forte comes with individual Ignition coil, circa RM200 each, just need to change the unit that fails, not the whole set.
