I took this out last year when it was £299. I was told about it when I booked my car in for the service. I will be having the second service/MOT next month.

The cambelt and DSG service is not included in the price. The DSG service is done at 40k miles not 4 years, although I suppose you can have it done when ever you want

Its 40k miles or 4 years whichever occurs first..

It's done on miles, not time so it's due every 40k miles.  It says so on VW's website!
It was worth me taking out the service plan last year.  I was due the 4th year service and an MOT which was quoted at around the £299 the service plan cost at the time.  Not sure if I had the brake fluid changed or not but that might be this year.
You're right of course
I was thinking of Cambelt changes - should concentrate more !!

Hi Folks,

Does anyone know if you can transfer your service plan to another car if it has been unused? would be good to know if anyone has before I ring my local dealers - they are not the most clued up and would be nice to argue the point if they say no.

cheers

I tried to transfer a Service plan a while ago, but they said it was against the Vehicle, so could transfer it to a new owner, but you are unable to take it with you and apply it to a new vehicle.

sorry, my fault, i think i misread..
the plan stays with the vehicle but is transferable to a different owner of he vehicle if you sell it.
Thanks QD for pointing that out  :happy2:

I also gave VWFS a call again this morning,and they re-iterated that it would stay with the vehicle.  I tried a while back to transfer it to my Ex GF's car.

Still damn good value though!

Bugger! Something else to add to my claim then... this accident is proving expensive!
