Just had a 40k service

Ender · 12-06-2007, 17:48

Cost me 459 pound, However they found and qouted for a front drivers side cracked anti roll bar 160 pound.

Sound reasonable? or is their cheeper for my VRS octy

Roll bar - Doesn't sound completely unreasonable for a main dealer tbh.

Service sounds a little dear, but not too out of order. Does that include brake fluid change?

Beretta · 12-06-2007, 18:15

Take it back to Mike at Impossible Performance, as its lots cheaper there, he did my front ARB a few weeks ago.

Ender · 12-06-2007, 19:33

It aint an arb thats the problem it the anti roll bar.

Yes that includes brake fluid change and also its central london dealer

Quinten · 12-06-2007, 19:40

arb == anti roll bar

Here you go, this is what i paid for my service last year.
Skoda octavia hatch
1.8T 20V RS MPI manual AUQ 180 BHP

Variable - full service - 40k miles

Pollen filter....................... 1 @ £4.70 = £4.70
Spark plug........................4 @ £12.22 = £48.88
Element..................1 @ £14.10 = £14.10
Air filter...................1 @ £15.28 = £15.28
Screen wash............0.5 £@ 2.43 = £1.22
Sump plug........................1 @ £0.96 = £0.96
1lt variable oil.........4.6 @ £11.16 = £51.35

Total for parts £136.48
Labour 2.5 hours

Total Service Cost = £284

And this was my new ARB yesterday was £142.74.

So £426.74 in total, so yes not a bad price.

havent a clue.

Tom_vRS · 12-06-2007, 20:38

For a central london dealer, sounds ok!

Ender · 12-06-2007, 22:46

they did try n do me tho!, they told me my wipers where crap problem is I fitted aero twins on friday and they work perfect, they also told me my rear disc's where grooved and thats just plain BS and I showed the guy and he apoligised, the thing that annoyed me was you pay the 410 basic service fee regardless, now I didnt want them plugging anything into my ECU as that was done on saturday by mike when he tweaked my map and I didnt want a spotty kid screwing that up, also the air filter didnt need doing as I run an ABD-CAI and my plugs didnt need doing as they are new specials i had fitted to suit the setup better, so in reality maybe they where getting 100 notes for free so why they had to try and con me out of a couple hundred is just annoying and pisses me off but hey they dont call urm stealers for nothing.

Lummox · 12-06-2007, 22:49

Part of the service is to plug in diagnostics and read off fault codes (if any).

Ender · 12-06-2007, 22:53

yup but having had that done on saturday i knew their was none.

stevenh · 12-06-2007, 23:51

My Octy is going in for a 40K service on 30th.

It's costing me £120 all in.

Mate in the VAG club is doing it at his work (VW garage).
