There was basically €25 additional for stuff over 2.0 for the additional engine oil, which was at most 2l more. It used to be €169 for an <2.0 oil change and €194 for an >2.0 petrol or diesel. Same with a full service in a diesel, it was €269 for a full or €294 for a full over 2.0. The only exception was the over 2.0 petrols as the plugs were like €100 worth alone. Your car being less than 3 years old though CIP, your only due an oil and pollen filter or what mileage have you got?

If there was a cost difference with the parts I wouldn't mind at all. But if its just a oh the people that bought 'performance' Golfs paid more for them than a standard Golf so we should charge them more to get them serviced logic then that's a bit hard to stomach.

A Cork TD has pledged to tackle the sale of so-called ‘company cars’ following a horror crash in his community which claimed the life of one teenager and left a teen fighting for his life. Sinn Féin’s Thomas Gould, the first TD from Knocknaheeny, on Cork’s northside, said a system which allows the sale of cars to teenagers must be tightened, and must include tough penalties for unscrupulous vendors.

I had a very tidy 02 190bhp UK model, fully loaded, leather, sunroof, climate etc. New clutch, new tyres, Tons of maintenance carried out, taxed and tested at the time. Think I took around €1200 for it in 2016 and it was a struggle to get that, took months. Possibly should have kept it in hindsight.

Look pretty nice too. 2zzge engine is a peach 1zzfe of that era isn't and is fond of oil. Wasn't it after 06 that the oil burning issues were fully sorted

There is a hidden menu on the dash that allows you to check the coolant temp, I’m not 100% sure but I think it should be up in the low 90’s. If you have a faulty thermostat your car won’t get hotter than low 80’s and won’t trigger a regen.
