If I dont have it changed and just go for the service are they going to turn round and sod off if anything goes bang?
Just dont really want to change the fluid yet, it hasnt exactly had a hard life. 3850 miles in 2 years

A 57 plate car can be an 08 model so yours may only require it at the 3 year interval.
Check the service book and it will confirm :happy2:
Also brake fluid is affected by more than just mileage it can absorb moisture over time so needs to be changed regardless of mileage.

Just had this email back from the stealers with regards to the 2nd service.
Think its abit steep, is it correct though on the parts required?
The vehicle would now be due for its 2nd Longlife Service, the current price for this service is £252.46 inclusive.
This service would be an oil and filter change, air and pollen filter replacement as well as a check over to make sure no problems are arising.
At this time you are quite right in thinking Brake Fluid is due for changing – It is recommended by Volkswagen this is done once every two years. I would advise this is done as it done help to maintain the condition of your brakes. The cost of this is £57.79 inclusive.
SteveP:
What servicing mode are you on (long Life or Time and Distance?)
It says in their email 2nd long life service so I presume your on long life servicing?
