Reviewed letter today from VWA dealer advising my "6 monthly supplementary service" was due on my 6 month old 8000 km Gti PP. Has anyone received anything similar and is it warranted?
They've just gotten back to me and said its a supplementary service they recommend between log book services. $100 includes oil and other fluid top ups, "safety inspection" and "checking and carrying out any outstanding recall"??

Sounds like a great profit centre for the dealer

$100 to probably top up your windscreen washer fluid lol.
Apparently VWA dealers only update software when faults are detected during scans. Wouldn't it be safer and more prudent to update software rather than wait for a fault to occur?

Ahh the good old engineering adage, if it's not f**ked, don't f**k with it
I received a similar email from my dealer, even pointing out that failing to follow the recommended service schedule could void my warranty (the implication being the 6 month service was part of that schedule when it clearly isn't). On querying the dealer by email it was confirmed a 6 month service was not required. I forwarded everything on to the department of fair trading as I believe this is deceptive conduct.
