3 year (30000mile) service

[Saint Steve]

first theres people wanting " cheap " tyres on a 5, now they are wanting cheap servicing  - next they will want cheap missing bhp searches too 

or maybe having to run 2 cars instead of one reliable daily 

[JC]

cheap brakes are easy mate, plenty of mk3's being broke, just borrow a



cheap lowering kit, just get these beauties in the back



and use one of their thongs as a cambelt.

Job Done

£85!!, what did they do to it?? stand back and admire it FFS!!. The Longlife oil is nearly £50 on its own!!, they must of used crap oil to get price to that. Get that stuff out of the engine. Change your service regime , a yearly check for £85 , shocking. Brake fluid change is required if the car is older then a late Reg 56 plate. Was changed on newer cars due to the type of fluid fitting in factory.

Brake fluid service is £62 on its own. 

Expect to Pay around £175-£225 (not including brake fluid change) for 3rd year service. 4th year is the biggy

Shop around! As long as it's all being inspected to VW guidelines and the right type of LL oil is used, then all is well.

And tell me why a £175 service is better than a £125 service, when it's to the same standards?

Im not disputing that, but wouldnt you want to know for ONLY £85 what hasnt been done.We dont even know if this is a VW dealership that done it. The O.P hasnt stated.

Well after having 3 more Mk5's then you Mew, then perhaps a touch more possibly 

Your point for that remark is what?? . I havent got a clue what a mk1 or 2 is to service, and thats why i dont waste peoples time in your owned car section.

Irrelevant, but thankyou for sharing that.

How am i wasting time? The point is that you have no idea what oil was used in his service, yet you're telling him to get it changed?
