TDI RS due for 105,000kms
Called Richmond Skoda - spoke with one guy who quoted minor service and told me i have a chain, no belt.

Called VW dealer who confirmed it needs a belt and they change...

Quick update.

They replaced the oil and filter at no cost which is great news.

Not sure if i should feel any difference (because i don't)

But happy that things have been sorted.

A friend...

I've since spoken with them and they have also agreed to replace the filter which i'm happy about.

Vito did try convince me that Skoda keep changing their minds about when the oils supposed to be...

So with 90k on the clock now i decided to get my 2008 TDI VRS serviced elsewhere, and decided on Volkspower based on great feedback on here.

One thing i did notice is after going through my...

yeah i think that's the one

I have a friend in the business and he mentioned this to me as well. Have a feeling it was to do with the Supercharged/Turbo engine, but i can't remember the name of the engine..

The wheels remind me of a Holden Clubsport wagon and the body like an Audi.

Desperate for one!!

I see.. thanks for that, it was very helpful.

i'm thinking of buying both honeycomb grilles.

I can highly recommend either Bucket Panels in Moorabbin or Classic Panels in Dandenong.

After doing some research i decided on Kumho U31's at $280each. So far they're great, and extremely quiet.

Update on my FALKENS.

Took my car in for a service and they called me telling my tyres are bald in the insides.
I couldn't believe it as i thought i had just changed my tyres 6 months ago.

you'll find that the repairs will cost about $1000 to repair the bar without fixing the headlight. Probably $1500 in total with headlight.

Can suggest

GEMINI MYAREE - 84 McCoy st, Myaree #93171811
COCKBURN CAR CRAFT - 57 DISCOVERY DR BIBRA LAKE # 94343122
PORT KENNEDY CAR CRAFT - 20 FIELDEN WAY PORT KENNEDY #95245525

All 3 are...

Where do u live in Perth? I could suggest a repairer (i work in the Insurance industry)

This has actually happened to me once before. I had stopped at a Petrol station to grab a drink and left my wife in the car. After maybe 30 seconds or so the headlights started flashing really...

Was it Red? I've seen a red one on the Monash a few times now

could I ask how much you paid for your extended warranty, and if you shopped around?

My warranty is up in 2 weeks and i'm looking at extending it

I'd be very keen, but wifey just gave birth to our first the other day, so i'd have to give this one a miss, but would possibly meet up for the next one

called up today for a 60k service:

Richmond $900
Frankston $1050
Essendon $1250
Doncaster TBA - couldn't give me a price as they just started servicing Skoda's

Not so confident on Lance Dixon. I called them today to get a price on a 60k service and the guy told me he doesn't know, and that I'd have to give him my vin number and he'd have to make some calls...

I overheard the guys down at Bob Jane say that the standard of Dunlops has dropped off since they moved things off shore?

REM1X = REMIX - figured someone with a modified car would be interested, since the car itself has been Remix'd :)

Or a DJ.. :banana:

ALLPAW - Would suit a Scout or Yeti $700.00ono

I have an 09 TDI RS and I've always had a feeling that my DSG has something wrong with it, especially when gearing down from 3rd -
2nd, it can be a real rough change which can jolt the car a bit....
