I rang my local VW main dealer for a quote on my forthcoming 40k (4 year) service, which is classed as a major one including spark plugs, pollen filter, fuel filter and the usual other stuff.
Here are the quotes I received:-
Alex Lawrie Skoda:- £260 all in.(£307.81 less 15% discount)
IMG SEAT :- £225 all in. (didn't include plugs though)
Awesome GTI :-£247.25 all in.
PSI Tuning:- £201.25 all in.
Local VW dealer :- £188 all in. !!!!!!
Apparently the normal VW price is £363, but they have a 'Saturday club' for cars over 3 years old, where the discount parts and servicing can be had.
Drop the car off at 8:30 AM and pick it up at 12:00 PM, which suits me fine as I don't have to organise a courtesey car, and can go shopping in town whilst I wait. :smiley:

Is the cam belt the same thing as a timing belt?
