Anything specific to look for, minor replacements. 2011 S4, runs good, no problems. Thanks

The DSG fluids get changed and a new SC belt.

If you go to the dealer, they will want $1k+. I went to a respectable local Euro garage and had it all done. Instead of just getting the SC belt changed, I just went AWE Stage 2, which replaces the belt anyhow.

Just my thoughts.
I literally just had this done a week ago! Also, check brakes, my rear brakes had less than 1mm pad left.
They also found a broken/burst engine mount (that I had suspected)...

Sounds good, thank you

How is trans fluid and belt change 1k???? I just had my trans fluid replaced, dealership charged $60 in labor and I brought my own fluid ($100 bucks).

Mine's coming up (also a 2011), I plan to take it to my indy shop here in Maryland. rwtzero, what motor mount did you replace the broken one with? Who makes the good ones, 034? Can't remember. Thanks.

How does a front brake job cost 1k? How exactly is a rainbow made? How exactly does a sun set? How exactly does a posi-trac rear-end on a Plymouth work? No one knows, it just does.

Right - except that you have a manual transmission - the DSG has very specific fluid requirements that makes the fluid alone ~$250 and then it's also more labor intensive to change....... It cost me $475 for an oil change & DSG Fluid change at my local indy shop.

So I agree $1K for DSG Fluid change and Charger Belt change seems a little high - but that's always the case at the dealer - I bet most indy shops would do for somewhere in the $600-$700 range.....

NGP will do DSG oil change for $350 which is very reasonable.

I went to Eurotech Motorsports in Mahwah NJ THEY WERE AMAZING!

so, they charged $350 to do the DSG fluid change as well, which is VERY reasonable seeing that the retail cost of the fluids alone is $250.

LeadtoRome: I just went with the updated OEM, as you can imagine this was somewhat of a surprise and didn't have time to mess around with research etc. I half knew that something was wrong from this "knocking" I would hear when I would hit high frequency bumps... I kept looking at suspension components, turns out it was the blown mount.

I am 100% SOOOOO much happier with the ride quality now! What a difference between a blown mount and non-blown.
