Passat 60,000 mile service

[D&LBusch]

Hi Everyone,

My 2004 Passat 1.8 is due for its 60,000 mile service. Is this a necessary
service and can I do it myself? The dealer charges a fortune.
Thanks in advance.

YES you can! ;-)
If not under warranty..........you can do anything you want and save that
money for things you can't do or don't want to do yourself!

Here are two Passat specific yahoo groups you can join.

You can do any maintenance you want as long as you make sure
all the things listed in the owner's manual are done and done
properly.

The only exception is when the manufacturer has added the
maintenance charges to the price of the car and provides "free" (yea
sure it's free, because you already paid for it) maintenance, and in
that case you need to have them do the work or risk warranty claims
being denied.
