30,000KM Servicing Costs.

[Mountainman]

Where are these servicing schedules? I can't find anything in my service book or owner's handbook other than it needs servicing every 15,000km or 12 months. When should the timing belt be changed? or the spark plugs? or gearbox oil? or coolant? All I have read from the fixed price info is that brake fluid & pollen filter should be changed every 2 years.

The available information is so poor compared with how Subaru have laid out the servicing info for my Forester. My Golf just had its 45,000km service (at 13 months) and I didn't have a clue what would need to be done other than oil/filter change. As it was, that's all that was done other than a wheel alignment. Cost $316 altogether (that included $88 for the alignment). The 30,000km service was just oil/filter and air filter for total cost of $283. Yet VW's fixed prices say the 45,000km service should be $347 and the 30,000km should be $292. What else do VW specify should be been done at the 45,000km service for the extra $55 charge?

you mustn't be reading the right book. It's all at the front of the book that gets the stamps

Not for my Mk7 it isn't. Inside cover - Service information - (details & contacts that I signed on day of purchase)
p1 - the importance of this service schedule (usual warnings)
p2 - fixed service or flexible service (explains what they are - appears we get a Q14 - 15k or 1 year)
p3 - service intervals (would you believe there is not one word of 15,000km or 12 months?)
p4 - scope of service ( usual verbal crap)
p5 - proof of service (more verbal crap)
p6 - proof of service 1 (this is where the stamping starts)
It is then followed by 18 more pages the same.

Do all other mk7 owners have the same book as mine?
