Genuine VW service pricing

[IN2VWS]

Do you mean DIY, or non-VW dealerships, even though they are VW accredited service agents?

Have a guess.

I thought it was self explanatory.

Just had my 120000 klms service done and with bits and pices it was 950 odd dollars at Bundaburg VW. What really annoyed me was that the engine oil was over $200.

120000 klms service, Central Coast VW, $641.00 with free loan car.

I'm nearly due to service @138,000km so i'll report back, plus my extended warranty runs out in July, though at the moment I don't have anything I would claim on...(I type with other hand firmly planted on wooden table, lol)

Question for anyone that has recently had the recall/software for the DPF done....... Has your fuel economy changed?
Mine has worsened. On long runs on a motorway, it seems the same. Driving around town, it is now 1.5l/100km worse.

I don't think we've noticed the fuel going up or down since the DPF recall/software was applied. Feels a little smoother off the line but that's about it.

Do you notice in manual mode how it doesn't want to change out of 1st gear? I push the stick up and it doesn't want to engage 2nd. but I'll do it again at the same revs next time and it will. Can't seem to find if it's a flat or hill etc that causes it but I can't see a pattern. It's just like it doesn't think it should change out of 1st so it won't let me. shrug...

Haven't noticed that. I'll try it.
Are you referring to, put the car in manual (1st gear), then keep the foot planted on the accelerator until it changes into 2nd gear by itself....yeah?

**EDIT** I just tried mine, and it changed from 1st to 2nd, and 2nd to 3rd at approx 4800 rpm by itself, and, I can change up and down via the stick or the steering wheel paddles.

Now you're just rubbing it in, making us envious

Here,s the answer to this "Quote" [It's just like it doesn't think it should change out of 1st so it won't let me. shrug... ] Its a gear box with a brain , the problem is that it is subject to whats known as "Brain Fade" its all part of the wonderful world of high tech we now are living with . The old days were so much simpler 3 speed autos that could be thrashed to death and they still changed when they were supposed to , if you wanted more speed just plant the foot and a mechanical device connected to the throttle body would change down a gear for you . Now days we wonderful electronics which think for you and they do what they have sometimes been preprogrammed to do so you are at the mercy of some engineers nightmare [and we all know ]that if you have a fairly current one that it needs to be reprimanded by a computer at your dealer to get the thing to do the right thing "Just Wonderful " Howard . Yes I still love our T5,s just not the technology !!!!!

Amarok with 8 speed pleeeease were will it end I would be happy with the old Holden Powerglide box that was a very simple 2 speed auto . At least the old Powerglide could handle a V8 without problems , and it was the favoured box for drag racers .
