Hi I have just purchased a ED30 Gti with 10,000 mls it is now 24 months old and requires its second service .I have just been quoted £235 with LLO4 oil and £195 with Castrol Magnetec
My question is Would anyone be able to advise if the cost is reasonable and what oil i should go with ???
I am happy to buy my own oil from opie oils and insist they use what i supply .OK i realise it proberbly doesnt need some special oil as its standard gti ed30 ,but i paid £18k for it and penny pinching on oil seams silly any advice would be great regards Scooba

Hi Scooba, from my own recent quotes for servicing I had the following for a time or distance service using LL oil.
Bromley £195
Gloucester £172.83
Croydon £212.98
Camberley £168
Personally I will be going for LL oil. As you say its silly to have spent best part of 20k on a car and then scrimp £20 on the right oil for the job!
