Resurrecting an old thread. 1st time in 11 years I've had to top up my oil on my 2009 2.0tsi with 78k on the clock. Leaking underneath. One drop in 24 hours. Cannot see anything visa le except maybe some oil around the filler cap which could've been spilled at previous services. Any symptoms of thes...

Morning Everyone. I had to top up my oil on my 2009 2.0tsi for the first time in my 11 years of owning it. This prompted me to leave a piece of cardboard under the car overnight to see if I have a leak. There are 2 drops of oil on it :( . I opened the bonnet and cannot see a leak anywhere but when I...

Morning Folks, Just going through my service book to see what needs doing this time and have realised that I have run out of blank service schedule sheets. Has anyone got a PDF of a blank one they could send me please or are able to scan one and post the file link? Don't fancy buying one from VW/Eba...

Thanks Cuprabob. I live in Leicester. So certainly not Siberia. You think it'l be OK?

A quick update. I had the service today at Vw. £220 lubrication and spark plugs. They used Shell Helix 10W40 as they said it conforms to 502 standard. I argued that as I was aware it should be 5w30. They said it won't make a difference and that as long admits 502 it will be fine. Slightly worried no...

Thanks SalsaJoe. I've just rang VW they assure me the handbook is wrong and because I had a minor service last year it is due a major service this year. I argued that according to the handbook I only need oil change with oil filter and spark plugs. They couldn't understand how that is possible. I'm ...

Thanks SalsaJoe. In your opinion, is it worth me preserving the FVWSH on an 09 plate? £250 is an awful lot of money for plugs, oil and air filter. You think I could get plugs and oil done, and then change air filter myself to save on the cost?

Hi Guys, My ROC is coming up to its 6 year Service. From the handbook I see it will need and oil change, spark plug change and air filter renewal. Can someone give me an indication of the likely cost? I currently have a full VW service history. Should I go to an Independent due to the age of my car?...

£124 each from local tyre garage in Leicester for 18"...thought that was a fair price.

Thanks for the reply Cuprabob.

Is there anyone out there with anything negative to say about the Goodyear's?

Hi Guys, my two front tyres are almost at the point where they need replacing. For the last 6 months I have had it in my mind I will fit the Goodyear Eagle F1 Assym. 2. However I have just noticed that Uniroyal have released the Uniroyal Rainsport 3. Does anyone have any experience with these tyres ...

Werkstat Range is the best for CW. You will not be dissapointed.

Worth a shot mate and i can see your reasoning behind them changing them for you, good luck. I'm sorry can't help you with the cost of tyres, though try camskills on-line, they're supposedly very keenly priced. I've heard good reviews of the Goodyear eagle f1 asymmetric 2. http://www.camskill.co.uk/...

Usually sold as seen mate. To be fair, tyres are something that you should check before buying any car.

well I payed £150 last year which was lube service with brake fluid change plus £30 quid for MOT at local garage. This year £135 plus £30 for MOT equates to a total £345. So to be fair what you have is not bad value for money, especially if you had more extensive servicing due to mileage or life of ...

Skippy, I've booked it in for £135 after negotiating.

RW1, I'm going to wait until the 5th year service for dsg oil change, unless i hit 40k miles before then, and then i guess i can always get it done seperately.

Thanks guys. Well, with regards to cost, last year for the third service, I got oil change and brake fluid change for £150 after negotiating. I cant imagine swapping brake fluid change for a pollen filter is likely to cost me more, if anything i'd expect to pay slightly less. Would you concur? And a...

Exactly how I read it too Skippy. So it appears for the 4 year service on the 2.0tsi with less than 40k miles is just the pollen filter and oil change.

Shouldn't hurt the pocket too much (I hope).

Thanks guys. As my car has only done 32000 miles, and as the handbook says the plugs and air filter don't need replacing, i may ring around and see how much they will change the oil and pollen filter for.

Hi all, my 4th year service is due on my 2.0tsi Roc in a few weeks. I'm thinking of taking it to the stealers for the stamp in the book. Having read the handbook it appears to be an oil change and replacement pollen filter. If so, how much can i expect to pay, and is that all this service should con...
