My Skoda Octavia RS has done 7,500kms since it's last service and since I have recently had it tuned, I want to do a minor service halfway between my normal service periods!
Anyway, I'm sorted for all the stuff I need except the oil filter. As I understand, the RS (my10) has the same engine as the Mk6 and hence will need the same filter and sump plug as used on the Mk6 GTI. I went onto ECS Tuning to see what their prices are, and although they are very good - shipping was going to be an absolute killer (even if I bought 10! - roughly $24 each after postage).
So today I gave a VW dealership a call and quoted the part numbers for the gear I needed. They have the oil filter in stock, but they want $37 for it! I don't mind paying this price this time around to get me out of trouble, but surely there is somewhere cheaper then this?
Any help would be great!
