So I think dealer probably 150-200.
I would like to service my car at dealer just for peace of mind knowing if anything goes wrong they can't blame anyone. I know there are plenty good indy garages out there but that's just me.
Thanks for all replies and have a good weekend.

Good video, thanks.  Anyone got any idea where you get one of those oil filler tubes?

I paid £80 for the oil change at VW. The drain and fill plugs should be replaced at the same time.  The first time they changed the oil they hadn’t got the plugs in stock.  So was in again yesterday to get it done properly.  So 2 oil changes in a month!

i just used one of these and did it all from below, worked fine.

Did mine at 3.5 years and 24K, what came out was nearly as clean as the new stuff.
