Might be included, my last service by VW dealership was only £46.

Blimey!  What sort of service was that?

It usually costs £46 to open the bonnet!


A VR6 isn't a way of life, it's just a car.

probably an "inspection service"


"the works" apart from cambelt can come anywhere between 2 and 300 quid.. depending what u get put in..

normally new fluids, plugs, filters etc etc
Used to have a '97 MK3 16v GTI 3dr in 'Black Magic'... now have a '55 Civic Type-S...

I doubt it, 46 quid won't get much at vw.
Vw charge about 70 quid an hour plus VAT, so an inspection service would be over a 100 quid.

Yip standard 41 point service from Arnold Clark VW in Paisley. Just your usual oil, filters, plugs etc and a dealership stamp in my sevice history.

Wouldn't give the robbing barstewards any money for any major work or even trust them. I have a fantastic local mechanic who used to on a Colour Concept and loves working on them. He always sees me alright if any work needs done. :wink:

My 60k service cost £400 inc all the usual + brake fluid, pollen filter, Triple spark bosch plugs, cambelt and tensioners,all other belts and valeting.
That was at a local specialist.
