• 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?

  • 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.

  • WTF is loctiting a drive shaft joint..

  • Cheers. It's 2012/40k, so from a Google a few years out of warranty now.

    I'll discuss it with my OH, but my gut is to get this major service done, then find a good indy.

    With my mini I switched to a real good BMW indy for a while, but then Mini started doing the TLC package which is such ridiculous value it's hard not to go with the convince of someone picking up your car for you and bringing it back.
