                ring audi customer service and say you have been quoted £128+vat for an S2 and see what they say as i think thats pure disgusting! If there were honest they'd just say we cant be arsed but instead just quote stupid prices to put you off. Personally i'd steer well clear of them but u need to shout about that its criminal

                  Theres a better one than that at halfords, it's 3 pronged and grips into the filter with the pressure, destroys filter but gets it off in no time.

                        That's about the average for Audi dealers labour rates these days. Our Audi branches charge over £100 per hour now and the Volkswagen sites are getting close at £90+ per hour.

                        Add on your £6 filter, £1 for sump washer and £30-40 for your oil and you getting close.
