4th Year servicing costs

[2007GTI]

interesting, it says prices valid until dec 31st, the person who phoned me from the dealer that cambelt price only valid until end of august!

Just booked my ED30 for its 40k Service at my local stealers, Glbert Lawton Manchester.

Was originally quoted for:

40k Inspection service £191.66
Air Filter                    £26.84
dust and Pollen Filter   £24.09
DSG Oil and Filter Change £175.48

Total inc VAT              £418.05

Instead, I took them up on their Service plan Offer:

i get two services and two MOTs (MOTs are normally £30) for £299
I also got the DSG oil and filter change down to £150 (it would have been £175 as the car wasnt quite 3 years old but managed to negotiate)
Brake Fluid change £50

All that for £500 - i dont think ive done too badly. Im also having the cambelt tensioner looked at as its making the sqweeking noise but i should get this under warranty.

The dealers are offering MOT's for all makes apparantly

That's an awesome find, will definitely look into that.

so had my 4th year service.

despite agreeing to replace spark plug and filters, they didnt.

guy from dealer phoned up today and said the tech wouldn't of put them in, as on the new system it doesnt tell them to, as VW changed their advice on when to renew them, its now 6 years!

I said thats a bit bad as it says it my service book 4 years and the car is now 4 years old and thats a long time not to change them!

also some flapy sensor (£123) has gone wrong, they put a request in, so waiting to find out if VW will do it on good will, as car only done 19k!

Dealer now saying that they aren't doing the £229 deal until 1st Sept, that's convenient!

[2007GTI]

so can anyone confirm if VW are now saying change the spark plugs every 6 years?

Mine wearnt changed either when it went in fot its 40k service. I checked the service book and it says that the TFSI engine doesnt need new spark plugs until 60k.

Hope this helps

Hi just had a quote from stealer for my 56reg gti

Lubrication service £148 whatever that entails

Cambelt and waterpump £679

after reading recent posts on here seems quite steep but the guy said he will price match any cheaper quotes
