just had the passat serviced at Barloworld Moorabbin, triggered by klm + time at the same time.
cost was $400 incl which seems right. ( after original quoting $440 but i declined the loaner so maybe there's a fudge factor in there?)
I did ask what oil they used and it is Mobil 1 ESP 50W30 so its the good stuff. i had done an oil change at 7000klm using Castrol edge but next time i'll use the Mobil.
They also did the gearbox recall which is described as "37E8 - reprogram the gearbox unit"
had a passat tdi. now mb c class.

Jesus Christ! Ripped off... It's an oil + filter change with a check of all other fluid levels... Should be less than $200.

Volkspower quoted me $350 if I brought my own oil (which I usually do)
My local VW quoted me $380 with oil. May as well just go to VW and get the Gearbox recalibreation at the same time.
Agreed though. a Service is simply an oil and filter change. Its insane to charge anywhere near that. I pay $180 for my Corolla. What is the diffference? The only difference is that the R36 costs more so they figure they should be able to rip us off more as we can afford it.
