Until the 2nd April, VW have got 20% off All-in and Service plans. That makes the 2 year All-in £30 per month (normally £37.50) or a 2 year Service Plan £16.40 per month (normally (£20.50).

I'm getting a 404 dead Website when I click that link.
Might just be me, might be busy or might be another cock up by VW that has been deleted.

Does the All-in product give you the right to withdraw from the contract within the 14 day cooling off period? If so, then couldn’t you excise that right to withdraw and start again to take advantage of the offer price?

You might be in some sort of cooling off period where you could cancel it, then take out the new deal? Might be worth checking?

Our next 2 services on a 2019 Golf R are likely time related, not mileage, as wife will only do 4-5000 miles pa max.
Car has just had its March MOT and Oil Change done.
Next services on my App:
1. 2025 Oil Service + MOT 354 days
2. Inspection Service 792 days which comes after 2026 Oil Service + MOT
How would that schedule apply to a plan? how am i best to approach to ensure get best bang for buck or pound if sign up for a plan?
For context, May 23 Brake Fluid, Dust and Pollen Filter, Spark Plugs, Haldex and Gearbox Oil was done and car is already under VW warranty till Sept 2026 so its purely service plan need.
-
I've got a service plan running at the moment (car is 3yrs old end of April) which runs out soon, so doesn't give me the option online. Waiting on a call back from the dealership. Anyone know if you can take this out in advance?

You can just buy two years servicing... Its not all in, just servicing.

Yes, good with that, think what was poorly getting at, is the inspection service more in cost than an Oil Service? Or is it a lesser service?
Its next 2 services on schedule should be Oil Service + MOT, 2025 and 2026 but the inspection service (Main?) is due not far behind the 2026 Oil Service, so should i try to push that up and get more bang for buck?
However, this is just how manage it, think its pretty clear that purchasing a plan for 20% reduced makes sense either way do it.
-
Are the prices shown on site with the 20% discount already off or is 20% taken off at checkout?
-
It shows both prices.

I spoke with the dealer about mine and can't take it out early. My warranty expires end of April so can only take it out then when the 20% off deal has ended :cry:

I'm in the same position. Bit of a bugger really

I had the same issue in November time when they were running the discount, I phoned VWFS and they told me I had to wait until my warranty ran out before applying. I suppose you could take out the plan when your warranty expires then call them up to change it to the discounted rate when they next run the promotion in however many months time. I’d rather pay full price than risk a mk8 with zero warranty.
-
They wouldn't change mine I'd taken out ten days previously to the now discounted rate...
I had to cancel (inside of fourteen days) and take it out again (thanks guys for the suggestion BTW)
Absolutely ridiculous process but the lady I spoke to said it was the only way... And I was about the fith person to call that day to do the same with her!
So, no, they won't reduce an in place contract price... Idiots

I got the All In when it was still on the introductory offer in 2022. I have paid £25 per month for two years cover and benefits on my 2019 Golf R. It expired on 28 March, the works being carried out on my car a day before this. (I prefer a little wiggle room!)
I renewed yesterday thanks to Delsa at Pulman VW Durham - keen that I did not miss out on the 20% reduction, Delsa awaited me showing as Not having a plan in VWs system.
Super attentive service here😎
I have a further 2 years All In at £30 per month. A bargain for sure.
I’d have still taken the Plan at £37.50 a month. Still a steal in my eyes.
-
Yeah I didn't think £37.50 for what they were offering was a terrible deal either - just was annoyed that they dropped the price literally as I signed up!
I know why they offer it, its because by having your car serviced and MOT'ed by a VW dealer means you might well have any non-warranty work done while you are there... its bait.
-
Yes, agree @fredgroves. I paid extra of course for Brake Fluid change this time and also had the Aircon Service done - at a reduced price, precautionary measure as my car covered just under 1 k last 12 months!
I’m aware the DSG Service is now eyewateringly dear. Bur essential.
I’d normally have just gone with VW extended warranty and paid for servicing on top. I like the security of a warranty, especially with EA888 and DSG.
Happy days.
-
Is the DSG service included in that All In plan??
I suspect the Haldex service isn't
-
As a follow up to Fred's query...at what mileage/age is the DSG service required?
I'm only keeping my car to 48k miles/4 years so I hope I won't have to get this done.
-
With the All In I’ve had, any additional work scheduled - like Brake Fluid, has been additional charge. DSG and Haldex is not included int the current All In Plan. But it seems haldex was at an earlier stage, for some.
I expect to pay extra for my next Haldex service (which doesn’t include Gauze/filter clean)
I’m trying to strictly adhere to the VW schedule as I keep a warranty in place across my ownership, and hope by doing so to prevent nasty £ surprises.

Just purchased the All In last night. Was planning on using VW for everything included, and an indi specialist for anything else, they're happy to clean the Haldex filter whilst servicing it for example.
