Servicing

[dazzzooo]

My FR is due its 20K service, do I need to go to the stealers or can I use the local garage and still keep the warranty???

 

[googies]

The search button will help you out on this!! but in short.... No.

 

[sssstew]

yes you can as long as they use proper vag parts and keep to the schedule of work. find a local vag specialist.

As long as the garage is VAT registered yes!! And VAG parts as stated above.

Dont listen to anyone that says otherwise, they are WRONG!!

 

[googies]

Sorry, read mine again, sayws you cant use local garage, was saying you can use it but dont lose warranty.

 

[dazzzooo]

Thanks, found a local vag specialist in Leeds, Quoted £155 +VAT.
Dealer surprised me and quoted £203 including VAT so only around £20 between them!!

 

[googies]

Go for Dealer then and have a F.S.S.H.

 

[dazzzooo]

Thats what I thought as well

 

[googies]

May as well for £20. Not saying this means it be done right over indy.

i would go with dealers as i would rather buy a car with a fdsh than just a fsh

 

[googies]

Why, the money you save from an Independant would more than make up for the money gained from a FSSH would it not? Plus because it has a dealer history doesnt mean it has been carried out to the highest quality!

Stealers or VAG specialist..............no contest!!

And as said as long as its FSH if its been done at a Stealers or an Independant I cant see it would matter for the majority.

I'm thinking of doing my own servicing, at least oil and filter changes anyway, what do you guys think? Will it make it harder to sell long term? Its just SOOO much cheaper that way!

 

[googies]

Dont do it within warranty range, but afterwards and maybe keep a records and reciepts for parts or any work carried out to help sell it.

yeah sounds fine to me, like said once its out of warranty, and keep the receipts. The difference in resale value would be small i would imagine, i know it wouldnt effect my price to much if i was looking at them. the amount you save will more than make up for the difference.

 

[wildejon]

Cool. Warranty ran out last month so now its just a case of keeping it going for the next 100k or so miles!

Dont want them washing my car, but they can hoover it if they fancy
