3rd year service and first MOT
« on: 24 July 2012, 20:39 »
My car is 3 years old this week and is due its final service under the 3 year service plan bought at time of purchase, and also as it will be 3 needs a current MOT certificate.  Am hoping VW service department don't find anything major amiss with the car which during its first three years has been a perfect car which has now spoilt me for the competition as nothing in this group matches my car for build quality and superior ride.

Hi, thought you'd given up on us? I'm sure ya dealer will go over it with a fine tooth comb if prompted to. They'll appreciate the warranty work as they get abetted rate and can often complete the task in less time than VW UK quote.

Mine was three year old recently and the dealer did a pre end of warranty check prior to the MOT.

They tried it with me and my reply was, why would I buy a brand new model that's just about to be replaced....


They gave up the sale attempt quite quickly after that.

Mine went through its MOT at the end of June without any better. I bought mine just before VW started selling the service package 3 and a bit years ago but I did buy a package this time which gave me the 3rd and 4th services (the 4th is the big one) and two MOTs for £379. I didn't think that was bad bearing in mind two MOTs are £100 odd on their own and the 4th service was £250 odd ish. Yes, they'll get their money with brake pads and other consumables no doubt but so far, so good - 3 years and no bother at all.

I just have to wait until the end of September now when I can get a new insurer who'll allow me to mod it!!!!!

Did you all get the brake fluid change on the 3 year service, those of you that have the service plan? My 3 year service is due next January I'm just wondering if it part of the service or they charge you extra?
