Hi, just thought i'd drop a line in to tell you about my service on my V6 4MO which i have had for a month or so.
I have had it serviced by an ex-emplyee of VAG's centre of excellance who has done top job for me. However, this is the point of my post.
The car has full service history up to 40000 and a 'garage' service around 50000. This guy of mine says that the car still had the factory fitted oil filter! He said as the filter is under a tray some VAG technicians can't be bothered too remove it so the filter never gets changed. Apparently their paid bonuses for how much they get done in a day. Surely this can't be good for customers? if they don't do the simple stuff can they be trusted to do the job properly at all? he also found the factory fitted haldex filters although the book showed they had been changed.
I'm now wondering if it was worth the search to find a car with the right history as it's no garentee that is been properly serviced.
