    Can vary alot depending on what needs to be done, whether its just the basics like oil change, filters etc or extras like brake pads/discs etc.

    Mine normally cost around €130-€160

    Depends on what needs to be done.

    Oil/Filters (Interior/Fuel/Oil)

    Diesel or Petrol

    Aircon might need to be re-gassed.

    Timing belt changed ?

    Basically anywhere between 150 euros and 1000 euros depending on the work required.

    The timing belt in those cars should be changed every 60k/5years. From mileage provided the 80k service should have been completed it should just need an oil filter change as well as inspection of fluids, suspension bushes, CV boots etc.

    I have a service due (its the larger 40k service) on my own Diesel Passat (B5.5). I can service my own car (free labour) but the parts price is as follows from a motor factors:

    Paper Oil Filter (Bosch) - 6.00
    Fuel Filter (Bosch) - 12.25
    Cabin Filter - 6.12
    Air Filter- 9.00
    Spray Grease - 5.20

    5w30 Castrol oil (VW 507.00) got it in halfords as their doing an offer - 50.00

    I find it is really hard to pin down a price prior to service , and always end up paying a lot more than expected .
