I had the above done @ 16,500 for the cars second service (2 year old milestone). Cost me £80! (I know a VW mech, so he did it as a weekend job - service book is still stamped as usual).
He told me not to bother with brake fluid change and to wait till year 3. Shame he's moved to Skoda now :sad1:

My Ed 30 first service was done recently whilst I waited .... but they said the second service is longer as it involves a brake fluid change ..... so I think it's safe to say it is done every 2 years :smiley:
As to what else they do I have no idea - other than he said forget waiting next year and book it in for the day !
Caz:
vehicle reg from 2008 are due first brake fluid change after 3 years, and then every 2 years there after.. :smiley:
second services do take longer, normally tell cusotmers it be 2 hrs, then 40minutes more for brake fluid. :smiley:

well at least its good news its gonna have someone actually service it rather then shake a wet rag at it and charge the earth. Fingers crossed she doesnt come back damaged like my 2nd service. :mad:

Can anyone shed light on what they actually do on this annual service, im abit shocked tbh, that apart from the oil and engine filter, they have only changed and replaced 2 items, and with no sign of a braker fluid change either, and billed £228 for the privaledge. 2hours labour to drain and refill the oil and replace a pollen filter!!!.Thats 25/30 minutes work!!. Seems like its a well it works and not like preventative maintance like in my days as an Engineer.
Can anyone who works for VW shed light on exactly whats done to the car for a 2 year old car that this was its 3rd service!!
They couldnt fix my MFD display with Nav issues cus no one that worked there was clued up enough to attempt it. They only Master Tech was off sick!! (colin)
Thanks :smiley:
