Think there is a guy who does Audi on the templepatrick line, on the right hand side just before hagans caravans. Car sales on the right As you turn in & he is on the left

There's not much to a routine R8 service. I had my R8 V8 serviced by Alan McGookin at AMG in Ballyclare and George McMillan, previously in Ballyclare now in Antrim. Sometimes (like now) I do it myself at home. I generally avoid the 2 Audi dealers other than for recall work.

I know both Alan and George from 911 I had
Would do R8 myself if no ramp needed

How many r8s have we on here?
Slightly off topic but I’d be keen to know what servicing is like on them

The routine stuff is ok but you need to lift the car up to remove the insulation panels and access the 5 drain plugs - the number due to the dry sump design. Oil filter and air filter are easy to access from above in the engine bay. The biggest pain is the pollen filter behind the glove box especially when you're 6'5.

Spark plugs a bit more of a job, need to be careful not to break the connectors to the coils and best to use the VW coil pulling tool.
