My car has started telling me it needs a service, kind of scary as it only have one in December, so that’s 10k I have covered since!
What’s involved in the 40 service? How much does it usually cost?
Do you think I should take it to a vw specialist instead? Rather then paying stealer prices?
Many thanks,
Joe

The 40k service is a major one, sparkplugs are replaced and the airfilter. I paid £140 odd for it at a vw garage. I found in my area at least the vag specialists are the same price as the vw garage.

yeah 40k is oil, air fuel pollen and plugs, its also recomended that every 24 month the brake fluid is changed

I thought it was a biggish one, cheers.
I will get it booked in for spark plugs & air filter (might get a bmc instead!
)
Do you think it's worth getting the cambelt etc done yet? 42k?

I have just had the 40k service carried out because of the age of the car (2000) , only has 32k miles on the clock.
With the brake fluid change and a few other bits around 300 quid at vag
However , I can say the improvement can be felt and is pulling better , 4k -8k rpm is very smooth.
