    Well I ended up using Volkshome. Great people, did a great job and they don't charge silly prices. Dropped me off and picked me up from the train station to which is handy.

    Definitely recommend them.

    A mate of mine who is a mechanic just up the road from these guys sends all euro cars there for anything out of the norm or difficult... I.e DSG service etc... He said they are very good...

    Hi all. Currently done 10k and will be hitting the 15k service likely during a huge driving holiday in March where I expect to do about 3-4000 km. Better off getting the 15k service done early at say 13k? And can anyone advise if the 15k service has a defined window like between 14k and 16k km?

    Or does it not matter, and I just take it in whenever?

    If you are under 1yr and will still be in the ballpark of 15k don't worry about it, just book it in so you can get it there when you are back. If you are over a year or nearly at it, get it done before.

    What age is the vehicle & has it had any oil change previously?

    You'll be right. The odo's are wrong anyway so 15k is more like 14.4k.

    Should be fine, just book it in, as you might get caught out waiting a long time for the next available service time.
