Can you service my Audi without invalidating the warranty?

Yes. Under block exemption regulations, an independent garage can service your Audi using genuine Audi-specification parts and oils without voiding your warranty. We record all work and can stamp your service book.

My Audi DSG gearbox is juddering or slow to respond — what causes this?

DSG hesitation or judder often points to overdue gearbox oil, worn mechatronic unit, or clutch pack wear. We carry out a diagnostic scan and assess gearbox condition before recommending oil change, adaptation reset, or mechatronic replacement.

Does the timing chain on my Audi TSI need replacing?

The 1.4, 1.8, and 2.0 TSI/TFSI engines from around 2008 to 2016 are known to develop chain stretch and tensioner wear. We check for rattle, stretch, and code-related faults before advising on urgency.
