Hi mate I'm in Cov too and listers quoted me the same! Midland VW in Cannock have a good reputation and they quoted me 350. Listers Coventry said they will price match a written quotation though if you would like to keep the vwsh though!

I've used listers Stratford and Banbury before and they've always met my quote from Pioneer automotive in Cheltenham.

But what really winds me up is the fact if I went in to part ex my car they'd claim a car with their full VW service history is worth more than a car serviced elsewhere.  So up there own ar$e$ and yet can't even do the job properly.

More ranting sorry  :signLOL:

I had my cambelt, tensioner, rollers, water pump etc. done by VW Knaresborough, and an oil service, for £290. £40 of that was the oil service.
........that's great for a main dealer.

Just been in to listers this morning, cambelt and water pump: £499, dsg: £175. So for both your price is right.
