Good result.  Given our current weather, the sooner it's sorted, the better.

After reading about the air con on this thread i hope mine packs in soon, i couldn't see Western VW replacing a compressor as a goodwill gesture when the car is out of warranty!

Yeh, i'm still under warranty. I just leave the air con on all the time. What's best how to run air con? When it goes in for it's 30k service they're going to top the gas up and she did mention that the brake fluid is going to get changed. I don't know how much that'll add to the bill!

That's good value and at least it's peace of mind that it's been done.  :smiley:

Are they doing a full air con service?  If so, interested to know how much they charge you.

As far as i know its just a gas top up. I'll ask though. Kwik fit does a gas top up for £49.99. A mate did his gas top up with gas and the regulator from Halfords , can't remember how much though.
