Just take it to the nearest MOT station.. doesn't have to be vw related in any way. Then if it needs work, go to a vw specialist, not a dealer !

MY previous 99 w reg golf went into the main dealers for a MOT.(free for life u see,tight git I am).They wanted £300+ to carry out some work needed for it to pass.I went to an independant vw garage ran by ex employeesof the dealer.Same job and parts,half the price.Now I have a 04 golf TDi150.dealers till warranty expires then independant all the way...
