A bit of a followup...
The lads at the dealer decided to fit a non-genuine serpentine belt during the service. Although it is a Dayco branded belt. It appears that this choice may have been made due to the VW parts interpreter not being arsed to make the extra effort to determine exactly which belt size my engine requires...or some similar foolery.
The upshot is that the aforementioned Dayco belt squeaks like a bastard, particularily when cold. It went back to the dealer this morning for a look see and diagnosis.
They gave it a quick lube which they acknowledged wouldn't fix the problem in the long term.......in the meantime they'll source a genuine belt and give me a yell when it has arrived. Then replace it.....naturally free of charge.
I'll get them to do the CV boots and heater hose at the same time.
