Well,
I took the car to my local (and usually good) dealers for it's 3rd yr service. Not much for them to do given the modifications that I have. Basically check the tyre depth, pad wear and a change of oil and filter....don't clean the car or touch the ECU and TCU and make sure they look after it. Can't go wrong there eh?
WRONG!!The last two services were done with long life oil and it is in my file they have. It specifies long life oil on T7D servicing regime. They had the car for 4 hrs and put in normal semi-synthetic oil
The one thing that they had to change to the car and they cocked it up!!
Then the service manager says it isn't there fault because I didn't re-specify it for the 3rd service and wanted to charge for the change of oil
I have a couple of questions...
I read somewhere that long life oil is used as standard on GTI's anyone confirm or refute this?
I now have semi synthetic oil in the car until next week. I reckon it will be fine running this, but is there anything I should be careful of, like longer warm up times etc (I understand it is 10-40 oil)?
