• Have a service due for the Golf. Apparently a major service so £350. What surprised me is the list of works is:

    • oil/filter
    • air filter
    • spark plugs
    • "major inspection"

    To much noise going on to properly quiz it, but to me that doesn't seem like a major service. I'd expected some sort of DSG fluid change, etc. etc.

    AIBU?

  • This is what VW say a major service is

    "It includes: Oil & filter change. Replace pollen filter. Replace air filter. Spark plugs (petrol engine) or fuel filter (diesel engine) if required. Remove wheels and check brakes. Check/adjust tension of all drive belts. Check gearbox oil level. Check final drive oil level. Vehicle inspection and report to include all lights, instruments, bodywork, glass, locks, battery, coolant levels, drive belts, braking system, steering, hoses, drive shafts, suspension and exhaust system. Full vehicle road test. Diagnostic check including report. Re-set service interval display. Volkswagen stamp in service book."

    I think £349 is the flat rate for a major service from a VW dealership.

  • I had my Golf serviced in December, all those points covered plus a little extra labour for re-loctiting a driveshaft joint - £266, excellent garage though non VW dealer. It's an 07 car without a perfect service history so I don't see the point in forking out for dealership work.
