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,

  • 120 K Service

    Hi all,

    Now out of fixed price service and not sure on whom to take a MY12 103TDI to for services now on, as all with the increasing costs of living the pockets are getting shorter.

    Have seen:

    Dandy Volks
    Peninsula AutoHaus

    Or would you recommend someone else??

    Thanks in advance.

      Frankston Victoria apparently.

      Have a look in the recommended repairers sub-forum. There's a few good choices down in MEL.

              Unfortunately, they were dearer than our local Skoda/VW service centre.

                No worries mate, I was told their prices were lower than dealer prices and competitive.

                  Did you get an itemised quote or just ask for a price on 120k service. Sometimes there are differences in what is offered.

                    Just for the 120k service, which I thought would be the same as per manufacturers specs for all service centres.

                      No, the definition of "service X" can be quite different. VW Australia run a different "standardised" check list to the rest of the world and often an independant will have their own list of service items that they have arrived at through experience of what lasts & what fails.

                      In theory, yours had the timing belt done at the 105km service?

                      Apart from that, I don't think 120k is huge as you would have / should have been stung at the 105k.

                      Oil + filter
                      pollen Filter (probably - should be done every year IMO)
                      Fuel Filter (might have been done at 90k)
                      Air Filter (might have been done at 90k)
                      Brake Fluid flush (depends when last done - every 2 years is the schedule)
                      DSG / auto fluid change + filter


                      So in order to compare apples/apples, you need to know what they are doing.
