I decided to treat the RS4 to a little tlc so I booked it into Belfast Audi for a service and brake fluid change, just to keep the service history up to date! Being stuck in work I got my wife to take it up, as she works in the city centre and it gave me an opportunity to get my hands on the Golf R!
Just before she was due to collect it I received a call from the service dept telling me there were a few items that would require looking at in the near future. I told him to draw up a quote and I'd look at it over the weekend.
On her arrival home she handed me the folder with the receipt and quotation in side. I was pleasantly surprised at the cost of the service then I saw the total on the quotation for the advised work, £8500, needless to say I won't be getting any of the work done by them.

Fell in love with one of these today at the car show in NEC! Looks amazing. What's it like to live with? Not taking into question the £8500 quote lol

It's a fantastic car to drive, you don't have to wring its neck to go fast!
Only downfalls, apart from the repair bills, are the road tax rate at £515 a year and it's thirst, but then again you don't by a car like this for economy!

£8500!!! What the hell are they quoting you for Tom?!
Oil cooler pipes were never done during my ownership, so if they still haven't been done im guessing that is part of it?

They were quoting me for 2 x front caliper, bleed nipples seized, oil cooler pipes and radiator, d/s/f shock and all the DRC pipes, p/s/f lower suspension arm, all the flexi brake pipes and a number of under trays and heat shields!

I've a 330i Averaging 23-27mpg lol so it's thirsty. Road tax is steep on it to. As said you don't buy something like that for cheap tax or fuel economy lol looks class anyway!It's a fantastic car to drive, you don't have to wring its neck to go fast!

Alert chirp on locking and I understand the visual aid for the rear parking sensor can be turned on as well.

That's a stunning car! Health to drive
As i recently sold my A8 I might be in the market for one of these in the new year i was looking at Golf R`s but the better half would be prefer an estate as it would make for a better family car..would these be able to cope with 2x baby seats and a booster seat as I have 2x girls now and my missus is expecting again.

Yeah, you should be able to fit the baby seats and a booster in the back!
A4's are tiny in the back seats. Expect toddlers to kick the **** out of the back of the seats
