Just booked the car in at vw for a service tomorrow, and they quoted me £295 cos it's near there 100k service, just looked through my service book and noticed that it recently had a cambelt / water pump change and a full service so though thats good it will only be cheap.
Rang the vw garage that carried out the work (5 stamps in my book from 64k up 88k) and they told me the car has never been serviced with them!! rang vw HQ who also told me the same but said to ring the service manager, so i do, who tells me that they sound like fraudelnt stamps and if i said the service book into him he will clarify!!!

Did you buy the car from the midlands? ![Surprised](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/bigcry.gif)
Seriously when i was looking for half about motor the amount of VW and Audi's that have been clock is unreal! And not to sound bad, but most of them wear Asian sellers. What i used to do is phone VW or Audi direct as most of car manufacturers have central data bases which you can double check history ties up. I always do this when buying a car now to vierfy mileage and history as to easy to fake.

I would have rang vw and checked there & then but it was after 6 when i viewed the car so knew they would be closed, was an english lad early 30's i would guess
