VW main dealer 2nd service

[Mako V12V]

My Ed 30 is due its second service next month. The first VWMD service cost around £80 (basically oil and filter). The VWMD in Preston is saying they need to do more safety checks and change the pollen filter and the charge would be £225!!

Having read my service schedule book it gives me the impression the second service is just another oil and filter service and the larger servicing costs come in year 3.

Can anyone confirm what is required for the 2nd service and what typical costs should be?

How many miles? My local dealer was £135.

Thats my local dealer...they are always wayyy over priced even more so than normal dealers.

£225 sounds steep. VW Huddersfield are doing my 4 year service (quite a big one I gather?), plus a brake fluid change, plus an MOT for £280.

Mileage is currently 15750 so would be nearer 17000 in a months time. The 2nd service should be a fixed price basic service though surely?!

Edd666999 - so which dealer/garage do you use?

[edd666999]

I have a service package with chester so don't use preston but I'd go to audi/skoda n get them to quote n preston Will match it.

Just wondering what is involved in the service?  Going to start ringing round next week, need MOT & CAM Belts, Water Pump, Oil & Filter.

DSG, Plugs, Air & Cabin Filters were done at last service so shouldn't need doing again.

Scopes, are you from NI?

If so, phone Phillips and see what they quote as Agnews will match it.

I did this with my second service. They did it and retro fitted cruise for £285.
