    1st service due

    I drive the 2.0 diesel RS DSG and I'm due for my first 15,000 service.

    What should i expect to pay? I will be having serviced at the richmond Skoda dealer where i purchased the car from.

    cheers

    I bought my 2.0 diesel RS DSG at FTG Skoda but have recenntly moved to Brisbane so had the 1st (15000) service at Brisbane Prestige Group. Labour was $193.50, parts(oil filter & sump plug & washer) $22.62, Mobil One oil $120, misc $18.20 for a total of $389.75, which I thought was fairly reasonable.

    MIne is due in mid Nov, when did you get yours from Richmond?

    I was told around the $300 odd mark there, need to get onto it soon as its nearly been a year and is at 14k.

    Make sure they put the correct oil in it (VW 504/507), and that they write on your invoice what oil they used (it helps focus their mind on the issue - unfortunately not all dealers are aware of how fussy VAG TDIs are about having the correct oil in them).

    My 30,000km service & brake fluid flush was quoted at $424 but the final bill was:

    labour = $135 (1.4hours?)
    Pollen Filter = $14.70
    Oil Filter = $19.10
    Sump plug (Washer?) = 3.15
    1L Brake Fluid = $17.75
    parts subtotal = $54.70

    SynPower xl-111 5w30 = $68.40

    Shop & Environment = $15

    less WOW discount (don't ask) $27.31
    plus GST $24.58
    TOTAL $270.35

    For the 15,000km service i was told $235 when i bought the car; then quoted $290 when i booked it in; then that became $344 which was subsequently reduced to $281 after some discussion.
    The 15,000km is only an oil & filter change, a few checks & a diagnostic.

    I bought mine this year in June with 9000kms on it. I've managed to do 6000kms in 4 months.

    I'm expecting around the $300 mark for the service
