Title: Mark 5 Gti 1st Service Cost and Mileage
Post by: DeejayGti on 05 October 2006, 01:04
Whats everyone been charged for there 1st Service and when has it needed done?

Mine was at 13513 Miles and cost £150.91

I think I got 10% discount for being returning customer but still I think this is good value.

Witherspoons VW in Edinburgh - Good Service

Has anyone used a non main stealer? What is the implications of not using one?

Mines booked in for the first long life service in two weeks time.....got 19.5K miles on it (computer says I still have 1500 miles until the service is needed) ..bringing it in a bit earlier than needed to be on the safe side.....they have quoted £154 for the service...not too bad  :smiley:

To check next service due on the computer.

Sit in car with seatbelt on

turn on ignition

push odmeter reset for more than two seconds

should then tell you mileage and days left to service

It wont reset the odmeter as after two seconds the figures come back up again, that when to release the button. It will cancel the odmeter if you press for less than two seconds. Should work on any Golf/Touran etc.
