My Skoda Octavia RS has done 7,500kms since it's last service and since I have recently had it tuned, I want to do a minor service halfway between my normal service periods!
Anyway, I'm sorted for all the stuff I need except the oil filter. As I understand, the RS (my10) has the same engine as the Mk6 and hence will need the same filter and sump plug as used on the Mk6 GTI. I went onto ECS Tuning to see what their prices are, and although they are very good - shipping was going to be an absolute killer (even if I bought 10! - roughly $24 each after postage).
So today I gave a VW dealership a call and quoted the part numbers for the gear I needed. They have the oil filter in stock, but they want $37 for it! I don't mind paying this price this time around to get me out of trouble, but surely there is somewhere cheaper then this?
Any help would be great!
MY10 Occy vRS \\ GIAC Flash Tune \\ 19" VMR v713 \\ It's a Skoda. Honest.
Lots of places.... specialist vw parts suppliers or vw mechanics. Near to you would be Camden GTI.
PLEASE use the search tool - this sort of thing has been covered LOTS of times. I even posted up in the octavia section about this with a DIY minor service thread.
