40k mile service inspection

[Stitch]

Thanks Chaps

I wasn't thinking of the AC as it still blows ice cold.

Re: the water pump - i did explain it should be a 10 minute job if the belts are being done but that's when she quoted the "extra" 30 mins labour. I'll tray another dealer to see if I cam get anymore sense out of them!

Our resident service guru T_T advises not to bother with regassing A/c unless it's broke.
IIRC the water pump should be parts only...
The burd at the stealer was probably looking at the price as a stand alone job, not together with the belt.

Hi all

I'm on the long life service regime and i've got c2k miles left before the next service is due (car is on approx 44k miles). Called a VW dealer for a price and was quoted £220 for the service inspection (oil & filter plus pollen filter plus their "inspection"). For some reason I thought plugs were also due but apparently not.

Anyway, does £220 sound about right? and are they the correct service items for the c40k miles inspection service?

Cheers

P.S. Also asked about cambelt change - they told me 6 years or 120,000 miles so I mentioned that VW has reduced that to 4 years or 60,000 miles which she said was news to her!

Camblet was £295 (normally £485) and if i wanted the water pump it was another £130 on top of the £295.

Sounds OK to me I will have to get the 4year service done on mine. Dealer quoted £263, cambelt was £369 + £110 for the water pump!
