That’s good because mine needed one of those but I had to wait 30 days for the warranty to kick in ( I let the all in lapse while I waited for the discount offer to renew) but since then the error has not come back again (yet)
Spoke too soon. Back on today!
Fyi... I just had a 3yr, 23000 mile oil inspection (small service) at a local independent VW specialist... £222. No idea if that's reasonable or not, but the garage has a good rep
The EU breakdown cover for 2 years could be considered worth a bit more than £100? (If you’re traveling)
You can work out the value for yourself.
Price of the oil.
0.6hrs labour.
And VAT on top.
The price you've paid is about par for a dealer or specialist. Fred in a Shed might be a bit less by virtue of lower labour rates, but probably not enough to justify bothering.
I have the all in plan (and a similar deal on the nearly new Skoda we bought) and I think it’s well worth the piece of mind for me (ask dell massive on the value of the warranty alone).
I think if you want independent service and pricing then you are missing the point, it’s about peace of mind, one stop shop etc.

My 2 year serice plan has now expired, was paying £16.60 pm...been offered a new 2 yr 'standard' plan @ £24.75pm! (£594 one off payment) 
...or a 'plus' service plan which includes additionally an air filter and fuel filter @ £33,75pm (£810 one off payment)
...so £216 for an air and fuel filter replacement.
Is the air filter not changed on a 'standard' service????
Im going Indy me thinks the robbing bar stewards!!

No.
Unreal. My £1300 really is a "special offer", available if I sign up within 30 days after my All In plan expires, compared to those prices. Shocked.
So unless I choose the ‘plus’ service plan it will never be done!
How frequently do modern air filters need changing these days….12k?
Varies wildly from vehicle to vehicle, but typically every 2nd or 3rd service.So unless I choose the ‘plus’ service plan it will never be done!
| Service intervals | As of 14.03.2024 | |
| Oil and Filter | 1 year / 10,000 | 1 year / 10,000 |
| Pollen Filter | 2 years / 20,000 | 2 years / 40,000 |
| Air Filter | 2 years / 20,000 | 6 years / 80,000 |
| Fuel Filter | 40,000 | 80,000 |
| Cambelt | 4 years / 120,000 | 130,000 |
| Brake Fluid | Years 3,5,7 etc. | Every 2 years |
| DSG oil and filter | 3 years / 40,000 | 40,000 |
These are the intervals I believe for a 6.1 on fixed servicing. Left column original regime, right column latest regime so a lot of stuff been stretched out.
Do you have a link to the source of that info mate?
I only ask as citing the original source to a mechanic is usually less problematic than quoting 'what some bloke on a forum said' (no offence intended).
