60,000km Servicing Costs

[MrGTIandRfan]

How much should I be paying? I'm about to grab some quotes in the coming week.

[The One]

60,000 km is 4 years.

15,000km per year, 15 = 1 year, 30 = 2 year, 45 = 4 3 year, 60 = 4 year.

Depends where you go, and if its DSG blah blah.

However I see from your little advert signature you have a GTI and it's a DSG. So service book says oil and filter, fuel filter, DSG filter, DSG oil, spark plugs, pollen filter, brake fluid (arguable).

So if you go to a dealer your looking around $1270, give or take afew hundred.

Specialist (make sure they do it all right their not a specialist for nothing) maybe $600-1000

Autotune, autoking, ultra tune, automobile, wing won dodgy mechanics co, probably $100 with crap oil, and all they will do is oil and filter (not good for your car, at all.

Just ensure DSG is done, it gets overlooked alot.

Hi,

My Mk6 manual GTI has travelled 50,000km and is due for the 48 month service. I’m having difficulty interpreting what is required as per the service schedule.

You seem to be very certain about what is required from your previous post, would appreciate your comments please on the following:

Spark plugs:

• Page 11 says under “every 60,000km” – “Spark plugs replaced – only vehicles with more than 60,000km within 4 years; only 1.2TSI, 1.4TSI, 1.6TSI, as well as Golf R, Scirocco R and GTI with 173kW.

• My interpretation from the above is that I don’t need to replace my spark plugs, since I haven’t done 60,000km within 4 years, and my GTI has 155kW, not 173kW.

• But then page 12 says under “Additionally every 4 years” – Spark plugs replaced – only vehicles with less than 60,000km within 4 years; only 1.2TSI, 1.4TSI, 1.6TSI, as well as Golf R, Scirocco R and GTI with 173kW.

• So based on this statement, I should replace my spark plugs since they’re coming up to 4 years, but then again, my GTI has 155kW, not 173kW?

• I can't see any other reference to spark plugs for a GTI with 155kW?

Fuel filter:

• You indicated in your post that the fuel filter needs to be replaced at the 60,000km mark. But I can’t find any reference to a petrol fuel filter in the service schedule? I can only see references to “Diesel fuel filter”and “gas filter (BiFuel only)”. Have I missed it somewhere?

Its nearly time for the major 60,000km service and was wondering if people could post what they have been charged so far for it?

[Umai Naa!!]

Around the $600 mark.

Around the $600 mark.

Dribs - you should use Umai Naa!! providing he isn't too far away. He certainly knows his way around the VW's and offers log book servicing. Wish there was someone local to me that was as passionate and knowledgeable as him.

$600-$800 depending on who you ask

As I recall it was around $650 for me
