Vauxhall Passat 2.0td

For the Mondeo the intervals are 12.5k minor and 37.5k major - I pay £120 and £155 respectively.
My local dealer is reasonable though - some places charge a lot more.

The major service cost here seems very cheap for a main Ford dealer, we have a 53 plate Focus and the 12,500 mile service cost about £140.

I was just testing to see who was awake.
It should be Volkswagen Passat 2.0td and Vauxhall Vectra 1.9td (150ps)
Thanks Dave for spotting the deliberate mistake, its a pity we don't have editing on here.

Audi A4 2.0 TD interim service (variable, may be anywhere between 16,000 and 25,000 miles depending on driving mix), can vary from £260 to £310 depending where you are in the country.
Major service again variable (for argunments sake say 40,000 miles, £450 ish.

Avensis - 10k oil change and 20k main service.
|
ok the services are at 10k oil change and 20k main for a Avensis. But at what costs ??
|
From what i can remember it was about £100 for the oil and about £150 for the main. However very little is actually done on either service apart from oil and filter - a few checks and you pay for anything that they find needs doing such as air filter, plugs etc.

At the moment I favour the Passat estate with the Vectra estate in second place. Knowing the Passat has a higher service cost than most, but the general various test reports (flt/news - A/express - A/car) give it a good mark and the Mondeo in general overall to be the worse.
What are your comments please.
