The Vrs is nearly due its 40k service.

Popped into the local dealer to find out a price.

Spark plugs

Pollen filter

Air filter

Interim service

£360. I had a double take and asked them again, they confirmed the price above.

Needless to say, I shall be looking elsewhere

Try a VW Dealership, you might get it done for £299.  

That's about right.

Had my 40k service two weeks ago and the cost was virtually the same. Luckily I'm on the Service Plan so get "more for my money".
