10K Service. DIY?
E30m3:
im gonna have a go sometime in December, change the sparks, oil, oil filter, air filter and pollen filter .
Its not that i don't mind paying its just im a bit sceptical whether some dealers actually do the work :( had a bad experince on my E36 M3.
thats why i try to use specialists rather than dealers.

the 10k service is just oil and filters correct ?

I'm not sure how VW would view this should any warranty work be required ?

Good point Jonny, the way I understand it is unless the services are carried out to the manufactures schedule using genuine parts by either a VW Dealer or Independent (VAT Registered?) Garage then your warranty would be voided??

not true as as long as genuine parts are fitted it does not effect you warranty its called block exemption so you can do the service at home if you wanted :smiley:
