I have a MK5 1.9 TDi on 115k Miles. Would you consider servicing the car yourself? I can change all the filters easily and will have a very good look around the car. ( Car is low so i need to look around anyway :innocent:)
Any thoughs welcome! :happy2:

The 1.9 is pretty easy to service yourself. I've done most of the work on My old Touran - just the big things i didnt have the tools for i put it to the garage.

Just seems so silly to pay £140+ for somthing that could cost way less. And when you ask about the components of the Service. Its not a lot. :fighting:

I started to service my car after getting an itemised quote for a service from a dealer. Parts & labour costs were all listed - I couldn't believe how expensive it all was.

Been Quoted £149 from my local dealer. Would as above like to see an itemised bill. :evilgrin:

I'd say certainly. Parts can be bought for less than £60, that includes oil.
My local garage charges me £30 and I supply the parts, I think it's worth paying that for him to do it, whilst I sit at work ;D
