  1. Thanks Gareth, Just to confirm further, the service plan also includes the next 2 MOT’s. Terry
  2. Hello again Terry, Serviced annually - that’s great. S/s isolated - absolutely great. Your current service plan again seems reasonable for a main dealer. c£250 per service doesn’t sound excessive these days, and its possible that a trusted independent may not be that much cheaper, but it would be useful to have other member’s experience on what they pay and where. Now that we have a bit more background,I would not recommend changing the timing chain at this stage. Regards, Gareth.
  3. Graham. This guide to tyre noise ratings may help your future choices. https://www.goodyear.eu/en_gb/consumer/learn/eu-tire-label-explained.html
  4. Your current tyres have a noise rating of 69db which is slightly less than most premium tyres. A3s tend to suffer a little from road noise. Have them on my a3 with 19" wheels and they can get a bit noisy but similar to my son's gti on 18" wheels with michelin pilot sport 4 fitted. Tread patterns affect road noise as does tyre wall rigidity. There are tyres designed with the aim of noise reduction. These include michelin primacy 4+ (68db) and pirelli cinterato p7 c2 with pns (67db). Both of these have noise cancelling foam inserts. Not tried either but probably worth some research. 3db change reduces the noise by 50% as it is a log scale. Whether to change or not in the end depends on what you can live with and for how long. Good luck sorting it out.
  5. Thanks Gareth, Yes, for my sins, I still have it serviced at main dealership. It’s serviced every year. I have a service plan for £19.00 pcm (£500 ish for 2yrs). Guess I should be looking more locally, like you say, it is 9yrs old now. I think that is the way they are looking at it. They will wait and see when they get it off. Regarding the chain, I have disabled the stop/start using my OBD11. I just knock it out of gear when stationary, second nature now I’ve been doing it for a while. My thinking was, rightly or wrongly, plastic in a heated environment 9yrs old?? Thanks for your feedback. Terry.
