got a leaflet from VW recommending i change the brake fluid soon. Should i take it in to them? or is it easy enough to drain and replace it myself?

Me too!

Ive got to take it in too. TBH, I'm going to get it done at a specialist garage though. VW quoted me around £85 just to do that
You can probably buy genuine fluid and have it done properly by a competent garage for probably half of that

And me! They told me when it was serviced a couple of weeks ago it needed doing and quoted me £60!! No chance, I'll take it to my brother at BMW who will do it for £15

Got mine as well mate, I am going to VW mines quoted at £58, I am guessing this is part of my warrenty if I need a claim. Mines going in 25th Sept.
80quid plus is mental expensive.

Took it in came to £45.17, it was given back to me washed and cleaned inside. They also checked all the fluids and give it a general once over.
