Service & A Few More Things

Well today has been a bit of an expensive day.

Had the Alltrack in for a 40K service,had asked for the DSG oil to be changed and the Haldex oil ( incidentally it is a good idea to keep an eye on this as no reminders are issued that it should be changed,I think the "official" VW time interval is three years but no reminder was issued last year so had it done this year.There is a box to be ticked in the service book but no mention made of interval ),new wipers all around,new rear number plate as the original one was delaminating,three new tyres and an aircon refresh,also winter wheels removed and summer ones installed,at least they don't charge for this.

Oh I nearly forgot had one alloy repainted where I damaged it last year.

As if this little lot wasn't going to be a financial hit they found the two front suspension bushes were split and the front discs were badly corroded so these had to be changed along with new pads and the bushes.

Fortunately the dealers managed to lop a bit off the bill but it still caused a sharp intake of breath but it's all done now,well until next year.
