davewill Posted January 5, 2009 Report Posted January 5, 2009 Took my 2006 MkII in for a 50,000 mile service at the local Fraud dealer in Telford As my confidence in them has never been high, i decided this time to test them and ask what Oil they will be using when they change it. Me to Service desk youth: What grade of oil will you be using?Youth: The standard one that Ford recommendMe: But Oils are different and have different specsYouth: We get it "en mass" from Fords, and distill it from a large barrelMe: Well i would like to know the specific oil that is used on mine i.e 505.1 or 505.01 or whateverYouth: I think its 10w/40 but i will ask the service manager to checkMe: OK Collected the car and a different person went through what had been done. He asked me if i had been told what Oil had been used, but if not don't worry as they had left the bottle in the car with what had been used When i got outside i removed the bottle from the bag to check I couldn't believe it, they had actually used Oil to VW Spec 505.01 :rolleyes: Also replaced a drive gater under warranty, and a charge of Quote

davewill Posted January 8, 2009 Author Report Posted January 8, 2009 Hi Guys Firstly i said credit where credit is due, just because i was please that the dealer had actually done the correct thing! My history with them over 5 years and 2 Galaxys has been fraut at times to say the least, due to incompitence! Regards the CAM Belt, yes it will be due at 60,000, i didn't have it done on this service as the cost was too much Warranty runs out in March, so i will send it back in then for a final warranty Health Check, and get them to do the CAM belt then Best Wishes Dave Quote
