Hi

Just finish 3 foc servicing.

AD pestered to take up pkg for  60k, 75k& 90k km but  only 25% off parts.

I was surprised he insisted no auto transmission oil change needed !

brakepads & brake disc are wear & tear will be extra.

What is the package price?

[bdo]

Abt $2050

TS here reporting.

Just went for my 105k km servicing. It has been close to 5 years owning my B8 Highline.

However, yesterday was told need to replace my back brake disc/pad (worn out left 4mm). And also coolant tank dirty / coolant thermostat leaking - need to replace coolant thermostat housing.

Total damage above close to 2k.

Any advice?

If over warranty, go outside workshop.

I managed to pester my advisor and was quoted $400+, every 60,000km or 4 years. But i will do it at the last free servicing and never go back again. The reason they didn’t want to do it so they can charge you exorbitant price after the warranty is over when Gb damage.

Anyone on the normal audio and really wish to upgrade? I discovered a solution that drastically improve the sound quality without change of component. Almost plug and play.

Is the current 7 dsg a wet or dry clutch? The 11.11 sale  at 120k look tempting

Dry or Wet DSG,still won't be as lasting as a good Torque Convertor Gearbox like ZF.
