Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

  • VIC Newbie with a service question..

    G'day.. I new and just found this forum, congrats and thanks...I have a question regarding the dreaded 60000 km service, (mind you it's only done just over 38,000 km, but they reckon it's now on the Years/Time rather than the Kilometres!), for my 2005 2 ltr FSI manual Golf. I just booked it it at Camberwell VW in Doncaster, I hit the floor when they said it was $900.00! I then read a thread that indicated that was the going rate for a VW dealer service, So before I bend over and take it like a man (apologies for those offended!).. I did some searching in the net and found fixedpriceservice.com.etc taht there were 7 or 8 places near me that can do it for between $500.00 and $700.00, so my questions is -
    What does a VW dealer service do that these other guys wouldn't do for the extra $200-$400?
