Yep. Had it done in Jan. European autotech. Supplied own oil and was charged $280 I think

I did one for a customer a couple of months back for $320 on a GTI. Not including brake fluid.

Depending on the age of the car, a brake fluid flush may be involved if it's two years old.

well they say oils aint oils and the dealer caltex is $80 for the 5l. but EA use liqui-moly.
i used the shell ultra 504 approved this time, but i bought a few tubs of the penrite 504 approved as it was on special. generally u can get it on special for about $65-70.
a lot of people say some brands are better than others. honestly, i just use my car as a daily so i wont see the difference

Ooh, that's not a bad price at all.

Mine is in today for the 30000km service, they're trying to charge me extra for the brake fluid flush because it's "an additional labour charge" even though it's specifically listed on the service schedule. Has anyone had this pulled on them before?

I only took it back to the selling dealer as I wanted the wastegate clip fitted under warranty to get rid of the rattle... I think I'll be kicking up a stink about that brake fuid charge when I pick the car up later on if it's still on the documentation.

Technically, it is an additional as it's more time-based than distance-based.

Did they ring you prior? Or did they just do it, and hope you'd pay?
