Now that i've got the christmas pressies out of the way i was thinking about putting a few quid away for it's next service.
Has anyone had their 40,000 mile service done ? i could do with finding out what it will cost me roughly.
I was told it will need a belt change ? dont know if this is right, any help/info would be most helpful.

Thanks.

40,000 mile service is Â£283 which includes parts, labour and VAT (with no discount)

Thanks for the reply.

One more thing, Is that a VW price or independent garage ?

Thanks again.

I paid Â£320 at the dealership for my 40000 mile service (TDI 100), that included the cam belt change, which they recommend.

i had mine done at 37k. dont know if that was a very late 30k service as i left it for quite a while or an early 40k?

cost about 250 quid, but we argued cos they charged us Â£50 for 'long life oil' that last 3 years....but they'l change the oil next time its in for service

they had oil on the shelf for a tenna!

Thanks for the info lads.
I think Â£350 should more than cover it, no doubt they will find something extra to sting me for.
cheers.
