well guys did some snooping and found a 40k sevice kit and Comes with the following parts:[*]Oil filter[*]7 Quarts of Pentosin Synthetic motor oil (5w-40)[*]Air Filter[*]Fuel Filter[*]NGK Spark Plugs (BKR6EKUB)[*]OEM Drain Plug[*]Interior Air Filter[/align][*]im just wondering would i need to purchase anything else to possibly do the job on my own?

 

Its not the shop trying to rip you off. That is what Audi's recomended servicing is. Its of course a little much to be doing every time you need to change your oil. Welcome to owning a fine Automobile. Get used to being charged a lot of money for stuff

 

Or, get used to doing everything yourself

 

dude, that sounds like a good kit if the price is right

You will need basic hand tools

a socket wrench, extension and spark plug socket

the oil filter hand clamp

maybe a funnel for the oil

and a small socket to get to the cabin filter

the fuel filter is a lil bit more of a pain in the ***, just becaust the job is a bit time consuming

here's the instructions on how to replace the fuel filter ***CLICK HERE***


there are some good do it yourself write-ups at audidiy.com

aiight guys well thanks for all the help i was just wondering since i will most likely buy the set and i get lazy and bring it to the shoop about how long of a job is it for certified mechanics so i can get a good labor deal?

 

bend over. if you go with it, you are basically getting raped by king kong. see if you can find ppl near you who are willing to help out. for changing the oil, removed the underbelly pan if you have one, you will see the huge filter right in the front of the car and remove that, the drain plug is like 6" behind the filter towards the rear of the car but the plug is facing the driver's side remove that also. make sure you have something under your car and something for you to lie on.
this is the diy for changing the air filter for the s4 but it's basically the same for the a4.

aiight ima do it! im not gunna get raped by king kong and also in the long run it will save me alot of money!

 

I would buy a torque wrench while you're at the parts store. costs 23 bucks at autozone. torque plugs to 22 ft*lbs.

 

^+1, yes it will!

should take you about 2.5 hours including fuel filter

just grab a friend and a couple beers, take your time and make an afternoon of it...

since labor is about 90$ an hour, a shop would charge you somewhere between 225 and 270$, not including parts, you are definately going to be saving yourself some serious cash, especially if you learn and continue maintaining your car yourself

PS. you'lll want an extension and plug socket too
