1st service
Caz:
that wont be a FULL INSPECTION service, that'll be the cheaper option of a lubrication service.
sorry, but no way would you get a service that cheap for a GTi.. that price is more Polo prices.lol
that price for 40k ins't so bad, although guessing it doesnt cover cambelt&tensioner..
if you guys need any help with whats due when, what to ask for, what to expect or anything else, im happy to help..
i know i work fo the stealers, but im not all bad.. :sad1:

Indeed I didn't, I'm doing that next year as personally I feel 5 years is more appropriate. Interstingly my dealer told me mine didn't need doing till 100k miles :surprised:. I think this is too long so it will be done next year. I've no wish to drag this debate up again...
Whats the story with Mobil then? I went in a few weeks ago to get 1L of oil, expecting the quantum gold stuff and the parts guy came out with a 5L bottle. Gave it to me for free saying they weren't allowed to sell it anymore as it had been superseeded? I presume VW have a deal with Mobil now then? Or is it a dealer by dealer decision?
If I can pick your brain once more, I had the AC service and refresh thing and my car certainly stank of disinfectant when I got into it. But now when I turn the AC on it absolutely stinks of old gym bag. There was no smell from the AC before the service/refresh so I'm puzzled how they managed to make it smell like that. Its going in on Sat to be looked at / I presume they will run some more disinfectant through it again...
Caz:
cambelt is purely down to drive discression.. we just have to advise you thats all.
i centrainly make a point of noting down when ive spoken to someone about it, as they cant be a come back, just in case..
to do with oils. apparently we were contracted to castrol, but yes, now changed to mobil.. cant really make comment on why im afraid..
to do with rhe air con, its a difficult one.. its possibly not ac related.. espec if its just had a service and re fresh.. was the smell there before the service?
and thanks Mr Robin.. :smiley:

Yup the 40k price he gave me was for service, plugs, and DSG - not cambelt - which was over £400 on its own.
With regards to the full inspection - they state I can go in at any time, and they will inspect everything, and top up washer fluids etc, free of charge. I have a leaflet stating the same an djust need to take the leaflet in with me for it all to be done.
I had the same when I was a RAC member a few years back - a free inspection (although I think it was 1 per year).
