VAG price for synthetic gear oil?

[davidwort 0]

trip to the dealers today to buy a grossly overpriced washer,

saw some gear oil on a rack for 8 quid a litre so I asked the parts monkey how much the VAG fully synthetic stuff was, tootles off to check his computer and comes back with '4 quid'.

So I questioned the logic of it being half the price of the general stuff on the shelf, so he goes back to check both price and size of bottle...

... 'yep, 4 quid a litre'.

rather puzzled, I mentioned I bought a couple of litres ten years ago for 16 quid a litre :? - perhaps it's made by political prisoners in China now???

 

So is anyone else speaking to a VAG parts dept today who can get a price, I still don't believe him :lol:

The PAS fluid is now about half the price it used to be too... maybe not the same stuff tho...

'yep, 4 quid a litre'

 

Thats a lot less than what i recently paid for similar stuff from oilman.

 

You should have bought the lot off him...
