This is what so many people are unaware of. When you take a VW in for warranty work, aslong as it satisfy's VW's criteria of being a faulty part then the garage just fills a form in and gets the part FOC from VW. The actual dealership doesnt pay anything for warranty parts.

I dont understand? everyone says this....
But my car has a sticker on it from VW which states that the first brake fluid change is at 3yrs and then every 2 years after that?

Seems there's a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to brake fluid changes. I'm lucky enough to know a mechanic at a VW garage of whom did my first service on the ED30. In my service book it mentions brake fluid changes at 2 years, yet the chap told me not to bother till year 3.
2 years does seem a little too soon in my eyes though.

IMO you should stick to 2 yearly interval brake fluid service as the fluid does absorb moisture over time decreasing braking efficency.
