Im going to investigate the extended warranty on the car, if its crappyu dealer warranty then ill take it to a regular place after this service. I could do the service myself for less than $100 but I like the re-assurance that a workshop will find things I wont.

i recently read my dealers in-house extended warranty.

turns out that after the factory warranty expired you must have your car serviced every 6 months (but twice as often if your car is turbo)... so i'd have to get the polo's oil changed every 3 months.... oh and the maximum payout for any one claim is $1000....

so i wont bother going back to my dealer.

Was going to wait till Adam opened his new workshop on goldcoast to get 45000k service done but needed transmission fluid changed and wiindow fixed unde warrenty so got it all done at once. All my minor services so far have been sub $200 but today they wanted a nice $369 for my match. Plus that after I call and am told car is ready, then receive he text saying it's ready, get there and told to wait 25-30min while they test drive it.

Won't be bothering ever again the VW service unless warrenty issue, same with our other VW.

I'm am hoping to see 225/35R17's fitted as Marangoni are one of very few that actually make that size tyre :banana:

You are going to decrease your rolling wheel diameter?
