whats in a 50k service?

[johnx14]

I've had to take my Leon Mk1 FR 150 Tdi to a mazda dealer for service, turns out they are just doing the oil and filter for like £110.

is there anything else should be done at this interval? I'm feeling I shoulda done this myself if i'd known that was all they would do in a ''service''

and they wanted 35 quid to tell me what the code is (engine management light is on), and thats just for plugging it in, so i said no and have just ordered a vag405 device to read it myself for 42 quid delivered

also, who does their own servicing here or do you all use a seat dealer?
