My girlfriends clubsport is due for its service, the main big one i think (its reading -500 miles!).

What will it cost at the dealer?
Think its gonna be taken to my local garage that i been going to for years (know the owner and his son) because it will be quite a bit cheaper and i trust them better than i do the dealer on the island!!!
But my main queation is - what is done on the main inspection? i.e. oil + filter change, fuel filter change, fluid flush, ect...

Anyone know EXACTLY what is done???

Thanks guys... [ok

I don't know exactly whats done but it is listed fully in your service book i believe. May be worth a gander there....

I don't think it's much more than an oil service but with loads of checks and oil top ups thrown in...

Make sure you top up your washers resevoir before the sevice though, If they're anything like Audi they charge you a fortune to top it up with screen wash.... :mad:

Just looked through my service history and found the 'inspection sheet', shows everything you need to do on inspection 1 / 2 and oil change, but only covers 318i-328i!!!
Is the clubsport the same or different???
Girlfriend is away at the moment so cant check her service history!!!

At a guess i would say it's probably the same (or as near as) as the 328....

Can't be much difference between the 2. It should give you a pretty good idea of whats involved.

Yeah thats what i was thinking...
The garage just wanted to know exactly what will need doing so they can give me a quote!
Cant see there being much difference between 328i and 330i clubsport.

yeah nice little earner that one weve got a audi avant and they charge over a £10 just for that so fill it up yourself and check the invoice if you do go with the dealers to make sure theve not charged you
