Can't believe I'm querying this but I've just taken my 6R GTi in for it's 15k kms service and all they've done is an oil change and charged me R890...
Surely there is more stuff to be done on this service?
My service costs are too cheap!!

Re: My service costs are too cheap!!
Oil and filter, run on diagnostics and a multi point check is all a 15K service needed.

Re: My service costs are too cheap!!
I got a mail from a company that VW contracted to evaluate their servicing, how it works, they will make the appointment for you, collect the car from you and book it in, collect it after the service and then evaluate the work done. In return they pay R600 towards the service or if you've got a service plan, cash to you. Looks like they only interested in major services tho...
