I'm going to ask the dealer to quote me to swap out the gearbox oil during the next interim service on the wifes 2008 Octavia Scout.

Does anyone know roughly what they charge to do this?

I've seen the genuine VAG gearbox oil is quite cheap, less than a tenner per litre and that the box takes just over two litres.

Assuming it takes them around an hour I'm guessing it'll add another approx. £100 to the bill?

Cheers.

At an independent i was £63.10 incl Vat he used the genuine VAG oil too.

Cheers Grizzle, this will be my starting point then for negotiation!
