Scheduled Services: VW Golf mk VI (TDi)

[TheBelly]

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!

Do you have a dsg transmission?

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.

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.

[TheBelly]

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.
