I'd recommend the T&D service regime with Longlife oil, but this will probably confuse the dealer as the Longlife oil is a lot more expensive than the standard oil.  Make sure you get a quote for exactly what you want.

Changing to T&D is just a 2 minute job with their VAS 5051, but as far as I can tell what really matters is that the superior oil is put in the car.

Including the cam belt?

Bit their hand off.

I paid just shy of £400 for my four year service but that included an air con service and brake fluid change.  I'm doing the cam belt next year.
