Independent Audi Sport service specialist · Wimborne, Dorset
RS3, RS4, RS5, RS6, RS7, RS Q3, RS Q8, TT RS and R8 serviced to Audi's schedule, with the right oil, the right filters and model-specific prices.
Independent Audi Sport service specialist
Audi Sport models are a different job from the everyday range: bigger oil capacities, performance-grade lubricants, twin air filters on many V8 and V10 cars, DRC suspension on some models and tighter tolerances throughout. They need a workshop that understands the platform, not a generalist who books a B7 RS4 into a standard A4 service slot.
Langs Automotive services every RS model, from the B5 RS4 to the latest RS Q8, and both generations of the R8 from our workshop at Three Legged Cross, near Wimborne. We use dealer-grade diagnostic equipment, genuine and OEM parts and oils to Audi specification, at a fraction of main-dealer cost.
For the rest of the range, see our Audi servicing page.
Audi RS & R8 service prices
An A4 oil service uses around 4.5 litres of oil. An RS4 needs 9.7 litres and an R8 V10 a full 10. The difference in price is the oil and filters your engine actually needs, not mark-up. Every service follows Audi's schedule for that model and engine, with the right oil grade and filter set, and we reset the service intervals and update your digital Audi service record where applicable.

Diagnostics
Audi Sport models carry far more electronics than the standard range: adaptive dampers, the sport differential, dynamic steering, drive select, launch control and driver assistance. Our vehicle diagnostics use dealer-grade equipment with full Audi/VAG protocol access, so we can:
Warning light, error code, or a fault that's been misdiagnosed elsewhere? We'll find the cause first.
Beyond oil and filters
Performance Audis need more than a fresh oil change. These are the specialist jobs we carry out to keep an RS or R8 at its best.
Dynamic Ride Control links the dampers diagonally through hydraulic lines, and it's fitted to many RS models, including the C5 and C6 RS6 and the B7 and B8 RS4. As the cars age the dampers and lines leak: knocking, fluid on the struts and a soft or uneven ride are the signs. We diagnose, service and replace DRC parts with OEM or uprated alternatives.
The RS3, TT RS and RS Q3 use a seven-speed S tronic dual-clutch gearbox, as do the B8 RS4 and RS5 and the second-generation R8. The B9 RS4 and RS5, the C7 and C8 RS6, the RS7 and the RS Q8 use an eight-speed tiptronic automatic. Both need an oil service, every 40,000 to 50,000 miles on the S tronic. See our gearbox oil service.
Direct-injection engines build carbon on the back of the intake valves, and the 4.2 FSI V8 in the B7 RS4, B8 RS4 and RS5 and the first R8 is well known for it. Rough idle, misfires and lost performance are the signs. Our walnut blasting service removes the deposits without taking the engine apart.
Audi leaves headroom in its maps for emissions and worldwide markets. We remap the RS3, RS4, RS5, RS6, RS7, RS Q3, RS Q8 and TT RS on the bench or through the OBD port, with custom maps available. See our tuning and remapping service.
The RS6, RS7, RS Q8 and R8 are often specified with carbon ceramic brakes, which need careful inspection and handling. We check disc condition and thickness, pad wear and caliper function, and tell you honestly when replacement is coming.
A clean engine bay makes leaks easy to spot and shows a car that's been cared for. Our vehicle ice blasting deep-cleans RS and R8 engine bays without water or abrasive grit.
Every RS and the R8
Rarer models, including the original RS2 Avant: call 01202 283359 to discuss. We also look after other performance cars through our Porsche servicing and BMW M models through our BMW servicing.
Remapping & performance
Once the basics are right, we can go further: a custom ECU remap, walnut blasting to restore lost response on direct-injection engines, and a gearbox oil service to keep the S tronic shifting cleanly.

No. UK competition law lets you have your car serviced by an independent garage without affecting the manufacturer warranty, as long as the work follows the manufacturer's schedule and uses parts of matching quality. We service to Audi's schedule with oils and parts to Audi specification, and update the digital Audi service record.
Mostly oil and filters. An RS3 takes 7.1 litres of 0W-30, an RS4 9.7 litres of 5W-30 and an R8 V10 10 litres, against around 4.5 litres for a standard A4. Many V8 and V10 models also need twin air filters and twin pollen or fuel filters. The labour is similar to a standard Audi service.
Yes, we work on the historic RS range, back to the original RS2 Avant. Older cars often need extra attention, particularly DRC suspension on the B7 RS4 and C6 RS6 and timing chain checks on some V8s. Call 01202 283359 to talk about your car.
Yes. We service the Mk1 4.2 V8 and 5.2 V10 and the Mk2 5.2 V10, Coupé and Spyder. An R8 service includes a full 10-litre oil change, genuine filters and a complete diagnostic health check, from £335 for an oil service and £625 for a full service.
S tronic dual-clutch gearboxes, as fitted to the RS3, TT RS, RS Q3, B8 RS4 and RS5 and Mk2 R8, need an oil service every 40,000 to 50,000 miles. Missed oil changes are a common cause of mechatronic and clutch problems, and repairs run into thousands. Tiptronic automatics in the B9 RS4 and RS5, RS6, RS7 and RS Q8 benefit from an oil service too.
Yes. We recommend walnut blasting about every 40,000 miles on direct-injection engines that suffer carbon build-up, such as the 4.2 FSI V8. See our walnut blasting service for details.
Yes. We write custom maps for the RS3, RS4, RS5, RS6, RS7, RS Q3, RS Q8 and TT RS, releasing more power and torque while looking after the engine and gearbox. See our ECU remapping page.
Yes. Finance and lease agreements usually ask for servicing to the manufacturer's schedule with correct parts, properly recorded, which is how we service every car. Check your agreement for its exact terms.

As a nervous user of garages (due to past poor experiences), I was pleasantly surprised about the high level of service Rob Lang provided with our Mk6 Golf GTD, which wouldn't start, and was marooned on our driveway. He had it recovered to his premises within hours, and his technician diagnosed and solved several electrical problems, plus he gave it a full service and MOT (and valet). It now drives like when it was new and so will be reprieved. Rob then delivered the car to our house because we couldn't collect it for several days more. We can't thank him enough. His prices are fair and much better than a main dealer I suspect (and very importantly he kept us in the loop).
What a breath of fresh air! Having a problem with Audi RS6 suspension and when I called Rob Lang he booked me in same day to investigate. They identified the problem and also gave the car a good general inspection while it was up on the lift. Super friendly, very knowledgeable and I will be happy to get future routine servicing done by Langs from now on.
Amazing service, from start to finish the team were professional and explained everything. The knowledge and speed were second to none. Our car was fixed, serviced and unexpectedly cleaned within the timeframe quoted. They are not local to me but happy to travel for an excellent experience.
Having just purchased an Iveco Daily van that had a few issues that needed to be rectified, I used an Iveco dealership who surprisingly did not completely fix the problems. I met Rob and his team of experienced engineers and was extremely impressed by their knowledge and expertise. They identified the cause of all the outstanding problems. This is a company who know what they are doing, and their customer service skills are top-notch.
Got my car fully serviced yesterday, and was pleased with the thorough detail and information the team gave me. Nice office, clean unit and overall welcoming experience.
You cannot possibly go wrong by fully relying on their advice and guidance, with work that is second to none. Rob is knowledgeable and kind, with this pervading through all the staff. I was in a really tight spot with poor workmanship from another company; this was sorted out quickly and efficiently and everything made perfect. I cannot rate this company highly enough.
Fantastic team, top quality work at a great price - would definitely recommend.
I was recommended Langs and so glad they did. Amazing service where staff take the time to explain the work carried out. I highly recommend. Thank you Langs for a great experience.
Thanks so much for repairing my car Rob. Always first class service and know my car is in the best hands with you and the team there - would highly recommend.
