I recently bought a 02 plate Octavia TDI Laurin & Klement, and then found out about Skoda franchised dealer prices...you gotta be joking lads!

Its a good car that will go the distance and LOTS of toys but I ain't paying £300 for three filters and oil even if it is fully synthetic.

In short I need the knowledge, and want to pick all your brains.

That does sound a touch expensive :(

Oooh nice car!!!!!

Is it for a service?

Dont go to a dealer , go to a specialist like us

I used to be a service manager at a dealership.......mm used

The guys did not seem to care about anything but money.

So I left and went to a specialist , try it

Oh and welcome to Briskoda

Sarah will ceratinly be able to sort you out.

If you want to go the DIY route, another site sponsor is Opie Oils - http://www.briskoda.net/forums/group-buys-promotions/opie-oils-briskoda-offers-thread/101274/ - with even the synthetic stuff at about 2/3rds of stealer prices

Hi & welcome. :wave23d:

You could try a search of the relavent site sponsors, I'm sure they would be much less than your quote ! or look for a local specialist.

Ah I see Sarah has beaten me to it.

There you go

Welcome Steve.

It is a good car and will go the distance - If looked after properly.

There is probably a whole lot more than just a couple filters and a bit of oil. You check to see what is required for your schedule.

Cheers Everone for your answers so far, as with anything its the lack of knowhow thats holding me up

Welcome to Briskoda

£300 for a filter service!! Someone is having a giraffe with labour rates!
