105kms and brake pads service costs ??

[ADTEE23]

Gday guys
My car is up for the 105k service and just want to know what's the costs and what's involved . I'm happy enough to do it myself if it's only oil and filters or is there more involved in this service

Secondly I have the brake wear indicator on my MFD meaning I'm probably up for pads too , ideas on what pads are good and rough costs would be really helpful before I get ripped off

Thanks in advance

Says in the service book what's due mate.

If the pad warning is on, then you need pads, unless its a broken wire.

4 motion DSG

Will just be a basic oil and filter service.

No timing belt to do on these.

After posting this yesterday I rang Volkswagen and was told it involved a timing belt and water pump change costing $1506
$502 for the service
And another $1100 for the brakes and rotors

I think they are taking me for a ride

Actually $1406 for the brakes 😢

Try Brakes Direct for the discs and pads. Then fit them yourself.

Did you think to ask them how they plan to change the timing belt on an engine with a timing chain?

I hope their techs are more competent than their service advisors!

Was considering it , as I've done many cars myself in the past - until I read about the electric park brake and having to connect it the the scan device and put the car in service mode to release the rear brakes to release and replace them .

Yeah super disappointed , the guy sounded like he had no idea . Has turned me off taking my car to a Vw service dept that's for sure .. This is the first Vw I have owned and was hoping for better service ... And knowledge

Anyone aware of the service life of the timing chain? I asked my independent guy about it at 105000 & he seemed to think it was due at 120000.

[Umai Naa!!]

No set interval.

Replace it when it rattles.

Thanks, Umai. How about the water pump? Limited lifespan? When did such items become 'consumables'... ?
