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 

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

A joke? It's for 20L!!

About as cheap as you can get!

Who said anything about a change? For £45?  Where on earth has that come from?

20L does 4 oil changes on 2.2 

So you consider £12 too expensive for an oil change?

its haveing the 45 quid first thats what i am saying

So you consider £12 too expensive for an oil change? 

£15, tunnie, by the time you have bought a filter and some rags, and some teabags and sugar.

The cheapest backstreet oil change is going to be in the region of £40-£50 quid, so you GM Oil/Filters on TC is, as you know, very, very cost effective.

For some reason that I think I've missed, Bigyin has a real issue with GM. Not sure why he drives one

That's gotta be less than a week's Sky fees and fag money Wilf ... 

[Mr.OmegaMan]

Looks like this thread has turned into a "Oil debate"
