I do plugs every service.

Where are you based?

for a major service and cam belt at a main dealer you're looking at close to £700, so £420 is good value. the plugs should be done, yes. in fact doing them every 20k miles might be better - they only cost £45 anyway and you can do it yourself on the driveway

i dunno about VW but if you look in the front of my Audi service manual it tells you what needs doing when

I'm in Cardiff, if someone could give me a name of a place closer to me that could save me some pennies on the service would be appreciated!
