just booked my car in for service and MOT :cry: comes up to about 150quids which isnt too bad, asked them to fit my coilovers and roll bars.........400QUID!! ur havin a laff VW.
taking to to local garage and costing about 100pounds, why is it soo expensive to be done by VW, they stated it will need aligning so why does that make it soo expensive. :undecided:
-
they cost alot for labour costs.
-
its about £45 an hour here for any work done with VW :undecided:

i believe VW charge £80-95 for labour per hour which is around what most dealers charge.

just collected after the service and MOT. passed with flying colours (which id expect) total came to 170quid. had new brake oil change aswell as an option, didnt bother with the air con service as ive only had it on once since i baught it :tongue:
think that p!ssed me off was that they were washing it as i pulled in to the car park. usually this wouldnt bother me but he was stud there washing it with a dirt old rag and a bottle of fairy liquid :cry: WTF. i told him to stop straight away. luckly he had only done the bonnet :lipsrsealed:

not sure how long u have had the car, but if you don't turn the a/c on regularly, all the seals dry up and it leaks, this applies to any car :smug:

Just phoned up today to inquire about the cost of a time n' distance service. £142 with normal oil. With longlife oil they want £174.
Anyone know the sump capacity on the GTI. I know its in the handbook. But if I go out to the garage I'll get blown away tonight!!! :shocked:
