Not asked about it,this is my 3rd mk6 and with the other two i just serviced them myself not long after i bought them,was planning on doing same with this.No service history after 09 and it has 183000 on clock so gonna do timing chain,tensioner etc tomorrow,done those on my last two also.Its a dear do but cheaper than a break down.

He didn't say he was going to service it in the price so probably no comeback.He said he had just serviced it when i asked about service history.

garage i bought it from said they had just serviced it... garages are in business to maximise profit, not make 'customers' happy, once got the sack from a garage for complaining about the standard of stuff going out!
