VW taking the pi$$.

[markymark]

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?

[Alasdair]

I went to johnsons tamworth fixed price had water pump aux belt and tensioners done along with cam belt kit £450, I found up listers before and they just plucked a figure out there head straight away didn't look at how big the job was which put me off

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.

Thanks for the input guys.  Won't be going back though even with a cheaper quote in hand, can't trust them.

That's why I never go to the dealers..I prefer a specialist instead

[bigmig95]

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

No one dare take the pi$$ round your way pal.  Too scared of getting knee capped

you're probably right there

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.

When I went to VW for a price to do the CB and WP on my 2.0TDI it was £420 for just the CB or £499 for both.

(Thats VW Yeovil BTW)

[paulw123]

CB & WP £449 at vw Chelmsford under fixed price servicing

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