    Earlier this week, I spoke with my trusted auto mechanic about how much the average person should budget for auto repair and maintenance. These are the numbers he gave me: On average $1, 200 per year per vehicle, is a great place to start.

    VW507 approved oil like the hard to find Castrol Edge 5W-30 longlife. It is once a year PMS wherein oil, air, cabin filters are replaced and fuel filter (for TDI) the next year. I don't have an Audi but I have a 2017 VW Jetta TSI (TFSI) which basically follows the same PMS routine. For a once a year PMS it is not expensive at all.

    2017 Jetta TSI owner here sir. Are you in the JCP FB group already? We are now buying our own PMS parts and we have a Jetta owner too who has a big Goodyear Autocare shop and it is slowly becoming like a VW casa

    but that's once a year sir . to us it is not bad at all since we will visit the dealership every year only. Oh the cars are really awesome to drive and for me it is just the Jetta (the poor man's Audi A4) what more the Audi's

    some people can actually afford german cars and its usual maintenance cost. 12k is small change for some.

    kaya din i-DIY sir and the PMS cost will significantly go down. Even if I import the parts from Europe it is still much cheaper from casa price. So basically I can cut into half the PMS cost of my Jetta every year

    One said that its REALLY expensive and said that just hooking it up to the computer of the Audi service will cost you 70k php. Besides that you will pay for the maintenance cost.
    I don`t know if this is true and would like to know to people who own Audi`s on how much it really cost.

    Thank you
    Its the labor cost that kills ur wallet. Not the parts.

    70k php is obviously ridiculous and obviously that guy hates Audi (or any car from the Volkswagen group ). An OBDII, a VAGCOM, a VAS would be able to scan any Audi car for faults. It is even free if you are in a club with a member who has an obdII .
