Default Annual Maintenance

Just completed my annual maintenance service on the 96TT.

Oil change, new belt sensor and 4 new tires. These things are amazingly robust!

Now ready for a nice detail and enjoy for another year.

Same, I just had a full service and could have easily done it myself. But as far as I am concerned I just paid $1520.00 for a rubber stamp in my book.
Never again.

You are lucky, these car can cost quite a bit if things go wrong. I am spending some money getting my new to me TT up to my standards, and i hope after that its cheaper. Luckily i do all my own work, and that saves major dollars.

It would estimate a cost if $1000 a year for maintenance, including tires and putting some away for clutches, brakes, shocks - things thay will wear.

Of course, if you hit the big one - engine rebuild - throw those numbers out!

Cheers

Mike
