swap your front and rear wheels round (probably a bit late)

that makes a set last a lot longer (but means you have to buy 4 not 2 tyres)

How much did you guys pay for your first service? I had a look in Slough and Hayes which cost around 250?!

I got 3 years worth of servicing chucked in when I bought my car so have't had to pay as yet..... but I've just had my 30,000 (@ 28,500

) so the next one I'm gonna have to pay for.

Also needed two front tyres (which I knew about) and probably brake pads at next service.

So sorry Mikey, can't help you.... but I'd say 250 was well over the top.

The 40k service on my old Polo GTi was Â£300 from my local dealer. Â£200 for the service (with all the sundries) and Â£100 for the brake fluid change (which I wasn't expecting at all!).

Apparently it's one of the most expensive services. Thank goodness!

100 Pounds for brakefluid? I paid â‚¬55 last year for my 6N (with ABS). Bit steep?

just to let you know tyres came today by post

top quality service would recommend them.

If you look in your petrol flap the pressures should be in there. I think for 195/50/R15's...

Half payload; 1.9/1.9
Full payload; 2.2/2.5

Be sure to check though
