The Audi Thread

[mrbig86]

Is it costly to maintain a Q5 in the Philippines? Are there non-casa repair shops?

 

Minor maintenance fee for Audi cars costs between 15K to 30K depending on the model. Schedule maintenance for Audi cars is every 12 months, so it's a reasonable price compared to some asian brands which still do the maintenance every 3 months.

 

Once every 24 months, your car will be subjected to a standard maintenance which will cost from 40K - 60K depending on the model. During that time, expect to shell out a few extra cash for the parts to be replaced.

 

I don't recommend having your Audi serviced by other casa while your warranty is still valid because European cars tend to have their engine parts break down in 2-3 years, which is if you're still under warranty, those parts will be free.

 

Getting parts for Audi is hard if you don't have it serviced in their casa. The nearest place you can get parts are in Hong Kong and in Singapore, but even then, some parts will take upto 6 months to get acquired.

 

There are a lot of good mechanics working in independent casas who can handle maintenance jobs for prestige cars. For example Petron - I used to have my parent's Porsche and Audi serviced in Petron outside Dasmariñas Village in Makati.

 

If you're living in Taguig, there are good mechanics who can handle maintenance on prestige cars at

CarTech (Bridgestone) along Levi Mariano Ave. Near Acacia Estate. Their head mechenic used to work at Petron Dasmariñas Village. I had my Cayenne Turbo S maintained there since Turbo S is not being handled by Porsche Phils. - of course, getting parts will still be your problem.

This is great advice. Parts are critical. If it’s that hard to get, then it may not be worth it. Thanks.

Speaking like a true R8 owner. Hehe. I love that car of yours, sobrang lakas makalaglag ng panty.

I currently drive a 2019 Audi SQ5. It has 354 horsepower and 369 lbs-ft of torque. I dont think it is sold in the Philippines. What i like about the newer Audis is the virtual cockpit. Navigation is directly in front of the driver. Also, the MMI system is very intuitive.

Thoughts on the latest gen A4?

[VivaForever2005]

the Local Dealership (PGA Cars) just launched the New Audi TT

and during the Launched, they also shown a RS4

so they are making this performance car available to the local market

Audi stirred my interest when I've seen the movie iRobot and The Transporter 2

According to motoring critics, Audi has better engine technology than BMW and DaimlerChrysler

specially in Diesel Technology

they are the first car manufacturer to win Le Mans with a Diesel Engine

I was fortunate to have been a passenger in an R8 in an Audi experience event some years ago as part of a company event. Though itwas nice and all, the car's full potential was not explored since we drove it in the streets. Still a very beautiful and capable car.
