Default Just had my 5000 mile service on my 3.2 Q...

Droped off my car on friday. Picked it up on saturday. Drove 4 miles and my TPMS went off. I have a suspect tire so I thought I had a flat....nope. Audi rotated my tires, did not adjust the air pressure in any of the tires and forgot to reset my TPMS. Front PSI was 35 and Rear tire PSI was 38 (supposedto be 41 psi front and 38 rear). How annoying, especially when you pay upwards of 40 G's for a car.

There must be a corporate culture of cutting corners. I don't have TPMS but my tires were rotated without adjusting air pressure. They also forgot to reset my service light.

thanks to this thread i remembered to ask the service writer to have the techs check my tire pressure when he came to tell me they were almost done. I didn't want to be a dick about it and say "so I heard on the intarwebs that you don't check pressure", so that seemed more tactful.

They even washed it for free, and informed me that my next oil change was at 15k, I thought it was every 5k, but wow. It was a good oil change / rotation / pressure update, but the worst wash ever, I think they just windexed the open-sky because there were still massive paw prints in the brake dust on the wheels from rotating.

^^^ yes, the manual says every 10k miles for oil change, but a lot of people i know, including myself, do our own at the 5k interval.
