First Service 1yr GTI

[booya]

OK just got my MkVI GTI full serviced at the 1 yr mark. All's well. Brakes in excellent condition, wheel balance, all computer diagnostics good to go. Price, circa $300. That's incredible value (my last accord euro cost a whopping $1000) for the 1 yr service.

did you change the engine oil mid year? some dealers are recommending a mid year service to change the oil.

Yes, that is a good price. Up here in Sydney, some dealers are charging $430.

No didn't but I doubt its necessary unless you take it on track frequently.

booya thats awesome mate!

Funnily enough today I also did my 1YR full service on my GTI. The only thing they pulled me up on was the amount of tread left on the front two tyres. Hahah I know where that rubber went They rotated em to the back. The whole service was also just a shy over 300 as well (serviced at Coffs Harbour - Geoff King VW).

Now to find some good tyres for the 17inch denvers.
