Do you have a 60 000 service? my car just went 61 000, I had a full service at 55 000 last April, so it could just do with an interval service, unless there is a   60 000 mile one that people would advise me to get done.

It should either need a service at 65K miles or in april, which ever comes soonest.

Does the timing belt not need doing at 4yrs/40k miles? Thought it did?

4 years or 60K whichever comes soonest  :happy2:

Luckily i will escape the expense of the belt change until either Dec 2013 or 87K as i had the belt, tensioner and waterpump on warranty at 27K, phew!  :scared:

Alright mate you over by Chelmsford then? I went to VW Chelmsford for the Cambelt / DSG but not going there for the service as they want too much, tried Colchester VW but same sort of price, going to the guy round the corner local VW Tech £150 lol.

Fortunately my mate is a mechanic at the local VW Dealers, super handy being able to do VAGCOM scans and even using the ramp sometimes if the workshop is open but he's not working. I'm taking my car in on Sunday for a Cambelt Kit, 40k mile Service, DSG Service and fitting my S3 Brakes.

Getting all the parts at cost price to the dealer, oils for free and labour for beer tokens! Shame he's changing jobs and leaving on June 20th, i've a long list of foreigners for him before he goes :smiley:
