Great, mines in at Listers Stratford tomorrow for cam belt and water pump, dsg oil change and major service.....they quoted me £675 for cam belt and water pump? I thought that was menu pricing? :confused:
Just been in to listers this morning, cambelt and water pump: £499, dsg: £175. So for both your price is right.

Try to get them to match vw Chelmsford prices I linked?

Well I got my cam belt, water pump, DSG oil change, haldex oil change and brake fluid changed for the grand total of £800.82. It also had a major service but that was covered by my free servicing when I bought the car! I'm fairly happy with the price considering all that has been done and the staff we're very helpful as usual! :happy2:

For all you local lads Stratford sounds ok then.  Saying that someone must have been happy with Listers during its life........just not me.

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.

i think they use a different exchange rate in that part of the country  :chicken:

I have had my issues with Listers previously but after the issue was resolved I have no cause for complaint, but you pay your money you make your own choice! :happy2:

I think marks statement is best. They look after you when they can, but they do have flaws.

I usually go to them and get them to price match to Pioneer automotive. That'll knock 200 off.
