I have been looking into the service cost of the 118TSI DSG and as usual everyone I ask gives me a different story.
Service Department says:
The 15k service is around $320,
The 30k service is around $440,
The major service is at 60k and the cost is around $1150 including the DSG service
I asked if the new 7-Speed DSG cost less to service than the 6-Speed and was told - there is no difference.
Sales Department says:
Minor service 15K,30K,etc. = ~$300
Major service 100K = ~$800 (I think this should be 120K? - sales guy doesn't know his stuff) what does it say in the manual?
And from what I read on other forums:
The old 6-speed uses a wet clutch which holds ~6 litres of special expensive oil however the new new 7-speed DSG uses a dry clutch and has only ~1.5l , this should cost less to service?
Has anyone else been given expected service cost for the new Golf?
I wonder if you void your warranty by servicing the car at intervals of 15K or 12month "what ever comes last" instead of what come first?
Do you have to get the car serviced by a VW Dealer on Australia to keep your warranty?
