It's about time to get the 40k service done.

Does anyone have the parts list for this?

what inspections are supposed to occur for this?

how likely is it that a reasonably intelligent human can accomplish this in an afternoon in their own garage?

The dealer is telling me that it'll be about $550, and he won't tell me what services are being done. What a jerk!

thanks in advance for any help!

Looks a fuel filter oil change and cabin air filter shouldn't be terribly hard do a search and check the tdi forums out.

I'd be finding a new dealer if he expects you to just hand him $550 and have no idea what you're getting for it.

Likewise. The Nissan dealer , as with most places, tries to up sell an air filter, Every time I'm in for service. Had 3 comp LOF . 3rd one I ask the writer if he and the svc mgmt could meet me at vehicle. Few minutes later I ask them if we could look at the dirty filter. BUT before that, as I go to rear of vehicle, could they explain how in 12k my filter needs replacement. Yet the rear wiper has been torn, missing a section of rubber, yet never needs to be replaced? Oops. [facepalm]

I can ask my son if you like. He's a team lead and factory certified VW Technician at a large dealership in Seattle.

Not a horrible deal if that's with the DSG service.

Mine is a manual transmission.

The dealer told me its about $120 in parts and $420 in labor. Still no break-down on what gets what servicing, though.

Ok, I got off my keister and got the 'what is being serviced' PDF.

Call TMLeader before you pay the dealer for this crap.

I'm sure getting Tmleader down to TX won't be cheap.

Pill bribe him appropriately for his time and efforts, but a trip to Texas won't be part of it. Maybe I'll just call him.
