First of all, in the Polo GTI Servicing Booklet 30,000km service states in the extra part over a normal service(as this is an inspection service) that the pollen filter is "...replaced if the car has traveled more than 30,000 in 2 years..."Mine has...And that is all for the 30,000 service.
I have a K&N Filter...No new filter needed, and this was last serviced when I did my TIP at 24,000 odd km.
I have no dramas about the way I inspected the brake fluid at work...We have the appropriate Fluid testers in our workshop in Townsville(infact we have 3!!), and I'm not concerned about it anyway, as at the moment I have 2 options for new brake sitting on the table, as one or 2 of you know, and I will be upgrading my fluid when this is done. I have inspected the current fluid twice in the last 12 months.
I service my Engine Oil regularly, as I drive the car spritedly, and I like to look after it. I have never found anything untoward in my engine oil, and I have pulled apart my filter also to have a looksee(great for fault diagnosys by the way, and not just on engine filters, but hydraulic and fuel filters too). I last changed the engine oil at 22,000 odd kilometers. In fact, I made comment on how clean the oil I dumped was today. I was very happy with it.
What I am pissed about is that the dealer servicer blatantly changed the schedualed servicing proceedures in regards to my particular vehicle to suit there own finacial gains. It's ripping customers off. Im sure you guys wouldn't appreciate this either. How many unknowing people have dropped off their own vehicles and had this happen to them? It amounts to nothing less than a scam to be doing this. Whats more is they charge different amounts for labour depending what make the vehicle is(For example, the the other day I was at this particular Dealer servicer and the quoted labout for Suzuki's as $125...Not a large difference, but why in the first place, when the same blokes will be working on it whether it be a VW, Skoda, Suzuki and any other of the makes sold at the dealership?)
What ****s me off more is I have to go back to see them again tomorrow s that I can get the second rate tint job replaced that they had done 12 months ago. This is my first opportunity to get it done in 12 months...
Sorry guys, I'll get of my pedistal now...
