I had heard about it and just asked in my local main dealer. I was registered there and then, then received a 'membership card' through the post. It gives me a discount (can't remember how much sorry) on servicing, and as I say, a free MOT.

It does have a warranty yes and I've not even looked at the policy yet to look if it cover leaking seals, I suspect it probably won't

The front, rear screens and wiper blades were all covered by the dealer as the warranty didn't cover them.

Wheel Bolts and these advisories are the only outstanding items. When they supplied the vehicle the front brake pads would have had 7k left in them so really wouldn't have been covered. 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic

Check the axle breather tube is not blocked before changing diff seal as a blocked breather will lead to an increase in pressure in the axle as it warms up which will have to vent somewhere.

I changed a diff pinion seal twice on a previous defender before I worked this out Embarassed 2005 Td5 90 XS

We spoke to the local and very well respected specialist and his advice is to leave both for the time being.

Not the 1st time I've tried to pay him to do work and he's said no.

Hubby meanwhile has said the oil isn't on the bearing it's on something he's described as a hip joint and the oil is on the socket. 2015 Audi Q3 Quattro S Line Plus 184 TDI Stronic
