    VWA "interim service!"

    Reviewed letter today from VWA dealer advising my "6 monthly supplementary service" was due on my 6 month old 8000 km Gti PP. Has anyone received anything similar and is it warranted?

    It's suppose to be a freebie. Mine is also due for the service and my deals said no appointment required just stop in.

    It's probably not a service as such - just a fluid level check so you don't run the oil dry.

    Did they mention a cost?

    If they intend to change the oil then they are working outside of VW service guidelines

    They've just gotten back to me and said its a supplementary service they recommend between log book services. $100 includes oil and other fluid top ups, "safety inspection" and "checking and carrying out any outstanding recall"??

    Dealer-only thing. Not endorsed by VW.

    Service intervals are every 12 months, or 15,000klms. No ifs, ands, or buts.

    Sounds like a great profit centre for the dealer

    Don't pay for it! I had oil topped up by the dealer for free before my fist 15,000km service.
