servicing

Hi All, Hopefully some can help with this query. Collected my New Van back in May and done 8500 miles over the summer. When I bought the van, I purchased the service pack also and was told the van would need servicing every 20,000 miles or 2 years and the service pack would see me through to...

My T6 4 Motion 2017 DSG 204 has just come up with service ,it is at 99k and has had cam belt etc . What is changed at this interval as VW say oil,filter, air filter,fuel filter and pollen filter. Just been quoted £407 ? Is there any other things/checks they need to be doing? Thanks John

My 2019 T6 is asking for an inspection (I'm assuming it means a service). I've done 35,000 miles. Do I have to take it to my inept VW van centre, or can I take it to my friendly local garage? What are the benefits or taking it to VW (if any)? I'm guessing the bulk of the service is an oil...

Hi all, recommendations please for a mobile mechanic that will be able to visit my poorly van currently sitting in VW Huntingdon. VW can't even look at the van for 3 weeks, and I have a trip booked up....and tbh I just want my van back and healthy asap... Thanks in advance.

A lot of discussions on this one,been quoted over £400 for major service,so, would we go main dealer or independent, And iif anybody knows and recommends.. somebody out there in cumbria,would be appreciated ..

Hi All, Where would you recommend I go for my vans first service? Ideally in, or near Bristol (12,000 miles)? I have previously used Heritage Automotive, Bristol but they can be terrible!! Am I being silly not going back to them? After all it's just a service? I had an Ad Blue error code pop...

Hi all, new to the forum and already looking for some advance with a T6 that I’m looking at buying end of the week. Been asking the dealer for the service history on the van and he has finally sent me through what they have , now to me there looks as if some is missing as there is almost a three...

Hi, VW called me this week to say, your van is due its 50k major service and MOT. Their cost for this service is £400 + the MOT £. My question to you guys is; do I do this service with VW to keep the full main dealer service history or go to a local independent specialist? Thoughts on a...

Hi, As per the title, anyone recommend a VW specialist for servicing / repairs in the West Mids / South Staffs? My 204 / DSG is just 4 years old this month but has only done 27k, its got a flexible service schedule and nothing is showing, but I could do with some advice on whether the timing...

Been quoted from a VW van centre £338 for a full major service & £50.00 MOT Is that acceptable?

Just wondered if there was any advice / VW schedule for maintaining the sliding door(s)? I guess keeping roller bearings and latches well lubricated and checking slider mechanism fixings for tightness are the things that spring to mind. Anything else to consider? There have been a few threads...

I am thinking about getting some levelling ramps. However as I have never used them before I am wondering how easy/difficult it is to control driving onto them with a DSG box. My worry is the risk of driving straight over them and if you did is it much of a disaster, which Im guessing depends...

SWMBO’s Octavia just been in for service and brake fluid - basically oil/filter change and check lots of things - £310 :eek: What is everyones thoughts on DIY servicing? Considering many of us rip stuff out, fit other stuff in and generally modify wherever possible! I’m the sort of person who...

I really like my local garage. I neither like nor trust my local VW dealership (long story - previous car). I’ve had my T6 a year. The MOT’s due and it might as well be serviced (?). It’s on a “Q18” flexible service schedule. "Long-life" oil was used at the 27k oil change in early 2018 – but...

Hi All. …. Pass on this new offer…2 yr extended service with benefits see below …:)

I've been advised to service my TSI every 5K, is that right?

Hi People, can anyone recommend a good independant garage for servicing etc here in Dorset ? Cam belt due

Something came up recently that I was stumped on - and id forgotten what a massive rip off paying someone else to fix your van can be. Wrote a bit on self knowledge that you might find amusing. CLICK THIS LINK TO HAVE A READ!

Hi everyone. Not long had my T6 and was hoping to take it for a full service. Any VW transporter specialists in the north west area? It also needs a cambelt in a few months too. thanks I’m advance

Hi there. I've been inspired by @fezza68's helpful thread RE dealers in the NW. I have a VW Service plan for next 2 services, and therefore am tied to a VW Dealer. I didn't have the best experience last time I popped in to JCT600, Sheffield, and therefore wondering about other options...
