RE: 30,000 maintanance

[Tim Irwin <timi@Interlinq.com>]

Check your maintenance schedule (in the same folder as your owner's manual).
The '98's (and all OBDII?) have a different schedule than the '95's. We have
10K mile oil change intervals and major services at 20K intervals. The 30K
service is an oil change on a '98 VR6.

All of these prices seem rather high for work that is fairly straight
forward.  Does anyone have specific knowledge of what VW would require to
prove that someone did the 30K service themselves?  My GLX has 27K on it, &
I have no intention of bringing it to the dealer for the 30K service.
