How much for your 1st service

[cartmell]

Just dropped the GTI off this afternoon for them to do its first service.  They are also doing a update of software (whats this??).

Anyhow, I asked how much it would probably cost and the girl said about £200 . Is this correct?  How much was your first service?

Thanks

ECU software upgrade - should be free of charge. Other forum members have had it done recently.

Haven't had my first service yet, but expecting in the region of £150ish - only an oil change service after all

What inspired you to take it in? How many miles have you done and how old is it?
Just clicked over 7000 and coming up to 1 year old... not a clue as to when the service is due, I read the manual and it say 'according to multi function display' Very helpful!?

My local dealer has the first service listed as £155 inc vat.

I thought all dealers had the price list for services etc listed somewhere in their dealership? Did you see one cartmell? If they do and it's less than what they have verbally quoted you it seems that they maybe trying to charge man hours for the software upgrade

I asked the girl at reception how much is was likely to be.  'Cause its a GTI probably £200' she said.  Suppose I will only find out today when I pick it up.  I was thinking it couldnt be any more than £150.

The software upgrade is a waranty issue, and I didnt know anything about it until I booked it in for a service.  Ive had the car 14months and its done 10,000miles.

Also, does anyone else ever get decent replacement car.  I never have had one yet.  I got a 1.2 polo and Ive been trying to drive it like my GTI.  Scarey.  Should really complain as when I had a leon Cupra I was given an old ford orion with straw in the back seat.  At least the VW dealer has respectable cars.

Time and distance service £70. Had a rear wiper with a mind of its own replaced under warranty and software update too.

Lent me a Golf plus which drove like a jelly on wheels, makes you appreciate your GTI even more!

Just got the gti back and parted with £130.  This was better than the £200 I expected.

Also, it was like getting into a new car after spending a day in a polo
