Oil is brilliant value too, around £45 for 20L.

Only on TC ..... price up a litre bottle - it's as expensive as Merc's

I just love working on my 4 pot, when I had to remove exhaust downpipe for new flexi, all so easy, reach into engine bay to do work, bags of room. Underneath every thing can clearly be seen, nothing difficult to gain access to. Really enjoyable engine to work on, unlike bloody V6's.

Although I did change a DIS pack in less than an hour on MotherT's 3.0  :)

People moaning about Vx prices does make me laugh though, they are actually very reasonable when using Trade club. Have you seen how much Audi parts are  :o :o :o
Aye the humble 2.2 is lovely to work on compared to V6s plenty of room, Did the spark plugs not long ago on the 2.2 took 10-15min easy.

VX prices are fine for most things but things like Cam Belt kits are probably best bought elsewhere if you don't have access to TC.

I'd image Audi would be similar to BMW, Mercedes, Lexus etc in prices for parts  :-\

I think all their prices are very good, £100 now I think for a set of disc's and pads. Most other big cars its £100+ for each disc!

Oil is brilliant value too, around £45 for 20L.

Ok a coil pack for 2.2 was £100, but did last around 120k.

Things like springs I go pattern & few other bits, but mostly genuine as they last so much longer.
its ok if you got that sort of money . i dont . like 45 quid for oil that is a joke ;D ;D

The 2.2 and 3.2 has this stuff pumping around their engines no problems. Quick next day delivery as well if bought early enough.

What a bloody bitch of a job to put spark plugs in  >:(
In TBE, its about 15mins to do passenger side, as I have to remove an LPG injector block, and about 5mins to do drivers.

MV6 is slightly longer, as the EGR is a pain.
