My tdi sport is due for a cambelt and water pump change and MOT in Feb! I had a 40k service done in October, but looking back at it I could have done what the garage did with an LED torch and some tape. My screen wash was even filled with water only... They basically did absolutely nothing...

My Mk3 1.4s (Jan 200) has done 86k miles and is very bumpy and thumpy - gonna take it into see about replacing the shocks absorbers if it needs it. Some threads here talk about replacing top mounts at the same time as the shocks. Any ball park figures for basic shocks and top mounts folks...

Why do these things happen before Christmas? My rear brakes were making a noise - so off to the local garage I go. They are usually reliable and efficient. Told me that it was leaking cylinders leaking onto/into the rear drums. I thought that they would be better that KwikCr*p End up with a...

Have any of you guys ever come across this one. Just had 10,000 service and they have informed me that my next service will cost me 220 quid and this does not include the cost of the recommended brake fluid change which is an extra 65 quid. RIP OFF or what? By the way its on my 57 plate FR 2.0...

Does anyone else think that living in London means you're usually paying through your nose for servicing costs?!? :confused: Whenever I read a thread or a post about servicing, it all seems to be so much cheaper outside of London....... surely if the labour and parts are the same, shouldn't...

The first annual service is due on my girlfriends Ibiza 1.4 DAB at the end of the month. Can anyone tell me how much this is going to cost? The car was bought from Jennings in Middlesbrough and will most likely be going back there for the service unless someone can recommend somewhere else.

Just had a bit of a shock, just phoned my local Seat dealer for my 20k service just to be told it would come to £350 :blink: What the hell is that all about, even my Toyota Celica on a major service was a lot less than that!!!! Tell me this dealer is off his head, surely it doesn't cost £350...
