Went down to DM Keith's (Skoda Bradford) to price up and book the car in for a Major Service (Its on variable), Cambelt ( Needs changing at 4 years), AirCon Service, DSG Oil change (Due) and MOT!! :peek:  :( .......Ive only done just over 33,000 miles
They are also going to change the servicing to Annual, as I don't do the miles
Managed to get 10%ish off and Stacey (Parts) gave me a new rear badge for nothing    (I already have a new front one)...Even Alan didn't get them for free...LOL....But I will be spending nearly £800!! (£780) ..Original price was £837!!  :(  :'(

That's not bad at £0.0236 per mile.

Wow - Well done, Chris!

£837 sounds dead cheap when compared to my Superb.

Have u got a breakdown of the costs?

Coz, I need to book mine in for DSG oil + rear brakes.

Heh, my next service will be the 120,000 mile one. That's everything in the service book at once.

 

Except the cambelt as that was done 2 years ago.

Dead cheap? Lol

Dsg oil change is £177.43 inc.

Rear brake pads are £99 inc.

Yeah!

I was quoted £220 for DSG

But same £99 for rear pads just this Monday - remember?

So does a Superb use MORE oil then to command £50 more?!!!

Must be the same grade of oil at least?

Cambelt £420

MOT is £40(?)

Major service £250(?)

Exactly the same gearbox and engine Wayne
I think you need to have a word with them

Cambelt is £349......£419 with Water pump (Not changing that)

MOT £39

Major Service £249...They are doing it for £233

Air con Service is £39

DSG Oil change is £177

£837 inc.    They are charging me £780

Why the difference-parts or Overhead rate?

Don't know what you mean?

These prices are Skoda UK prices

The dealer discounted these slightly for me (10%... ish)

Just paid £199 for the 20k service and about £100 for each front tyre, inc fitting.  Better start saving for the 40k one, then.

No savings to be had Wayne on this.

 

However...How much oil is required?

EDIT:

http://mkv-gti.net/wiki/index.php?title=How_to_change_DSG_transmission_oil

..........5.5 litres, an oil filter and VCDS

Check to see if the service and air con service prices include the pollen filter, if they both do, as you need only one, there may be scope for a parts saving.

Its discounted down to £39 from £69 when taken with the Service...so I guess it doesnt

£156 for parts for DSG oil change?!!!

So Skoda not making much then on labour?

Chris!

U not doing water pump as well?

Major service says: Pollen filter renew "if" required - eeek!

Dirt cheap...no pun intended:
