Hi,
I was looking at a VW golf mk5 2.0 gt tdi the other day which said it had a full vw service history. It was 4 years old and 60k on the clock.


However i could not see any mention of timing belt and saw in the lst service a lot of things that would be 'due' like brake disks all round and air con compressor noisy.

I obviously don't want to land myself with a massive bill straight after buying the car (independant garage) by having an expensive service.


I was wondering can i ring any VW garage with the reg plate and find out exactly what was done on the last 'major service' and sort of what is expected to be done on the next service and expected cost?

I can then use it as a bragaining tool or walk away from the deal i guess?

Thanks,
