    I have a 90k service there as well, $ wise it's better than my dealer, but... how come the next service is due on 99000km/6mth instead of 15k/1 yr? Never have such short interval on my golf... emailed them yesterday hopfully will get an answer soon...

    I believe they have good knowledge on vw(as many ppl mentioned) but for my first visit this make me feel a bit different than others

    Thanks GolfMan,

    Apologies for not responding sooner. I had my TDI towed around to VolksPower a couple of days ago to see if they could bring it back to life. The wife topped it up with unleaded and took it for a "short" ride. Anyway Dean and his boys flushed it out, turned the key and she coughed into life. Having written off the engine and car I'm very relieved. Thanks for the tip. While a $500 bill out of the blue is a bummer, I can well imagine that my local VW dealer in Camberwell would have rounded it up by adding another zero.

    I've got my '05 manual TDI booked in for a service this thursday at Essendon VW. They said it should be about 550-600 for the 90k service...

    I'll report back...

    our dealer runs off the recommended price list supplied by VW.

    The most expensive 60k ive seen was an R36, which came in at near $1600. The cheapest 60k would be a diesel manual front wheel drive.

    DSG oil is roughly $280 to fill. Without filter. Most of the price is in the parts not labour itself.

    service was $590... but they found several things that need repairing... pass. side door lock, egr valve, driveshaft boot, totalling about $1300. things i'll do myself are wipers and front brakes.
