Service?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Caz:
id say between £125 - £160 for first t&d service..

£250 is more the 40k service, which is your major one..

as above, the service indicator is determind by oil sensors and the kind of journeys you do..

Ifti:
Yup cheers.
I think Im on the T&D regime - since the car was first registered in August 08. The highline display tells me the service is due in 62 days - which is in August 09.
Do I need to request they use the LL oils - or do all the dealers just use this now?
Also, is this an extra cost? Is that £125-160 you said, including the LL oils?

bacillus:
If you want LL oil when on T&D then it'll cost extra but IMO worth it.

WRONG.  The oil quality sensor readings are NOT used when the SID is set to T&D.  Where did you get that duff info from?

It states it needs a serive in 6600 miles, or 62 days.

Im guessing its on T&D servicing - yet I thought T&D service was 1 year or 10,000 miles - not 13,000?!

How much should I expect to pay for the first service?
As I do mainly motorway and A roads (40 miles per day) would I be better suited to LL servicing??

Tell me more:  have you owned the car from brand new or not?

And to be really pedantic, the T&D regime goes up to a maximum of 365 days from the last service, or a maximum of 9,321 miles from last service - whichever occurs first.  Just to clarify, whilst we all generally refer to T&D being every 10k miles, or LongLife upto 20k miles, we arn't being exactly correct - simply because the VWAG system uses kilometers as its 'reference unit'.  So T&D is every 15,000 kilometers, and LongLife is upto 30,000 kilometers.  With some simple calculations, that is how it works out at less than exactly 10k miles!  :drinking:

Anyway, sommat dont quite sound right!
