Just completed the 40k yesterday - it cost $696. I got it done at Luther Westside Volkswagen in Minneapolis.

What all was included for that price?

$100 for service is a lot IMHO.
I've had cars in the past that the service tech says you need $800 for tires $250 for brakes and---Say no more. Traded.

I see $65.00 for an oil/filter change. They check the tire pressure and add if needed. Wash and vacuum the car. They also do a multi-point inspection.

My brother picked up on older Jetta TDI with 180k on the clock and he is regularly get 550 miles to the tank.

A little off topic but I'm looking forward to the new Golf GTD coming over. Maybe I'l finally replace my 03 Focus SVT.

That car would be nice. Even nicer if they only did the engine improvements and left the rest alone. They'll show up with a $40,000 sticker by the time they are done.

I'm looking for a 2009 - 2011 wagon  low miles southern car , white or  silver no hurry , not going to spend $30,000 to save $ on fuel , just put 1,700 miles on my 04 high-top Chevy  conversion van last weekend 13mpg pulling my race boat at 72-74mph , just might get a VW suv with the 6cy TDI if I can find a deal , they tend to hold their value.

I'm out of town at the moment, Conrad, but I'll copy it across when I'm back home at the weekend.

I do the round trip from Elk River MN to Rockford IL and back - 720 miles and change - on one tank in my 2012 TDI Passat, driving at 68 - 69 mph. At 46 mpg That's almost exactly twice the mileage I get from my '03 Audi A6 2.7 bi-turbo at 72.

Ya just can't complain at that.
