ID.4 Servicing

Cleeverly will do the ID.4 - only small caveat they said "I will add the ID range pollen filters are stupidly expensive and large, and dependant on costs at the time there may be a small charge on top."

Heh, they actually just got back to me as I was reading this! £147.50+VAT for an ID.4 first service, including the "stupidly expensive pollen filter" 😆

Seems very reasonable to me, I may even just get the Zoe done at the same time even though it'll be a few months early for it.

James has probably costed up the pollen filter since my last e-mail then (£12.50+VAT)
For a new ID.4 you can get "Includes: 1 x Inspection Service, 1 x Pollen filter and 1 x Brake fluid change (if required)" for £239.

My gosh I hope we don't need the brake fluid changed after only two years!

Having just done the online checkin for my 2.4 update (id3) amongst other things advertised by the dealer at special service rates were a brake fluid change at £69

change the pollen filter yourself (easier than opening the glovebox!) and that’s it? 🤔

They are only charging £12.50 for the "huge and ridiculously expensive" filter - seems perfectly reasonable to me.

I went full-EV so that I wouldn't have to do anything myself!

£239 is only as an add-on when you buy the vehicle.

Interestingly it says "A Volkswagen ID Service Plan covers the vehicle first service covering you for 2 years, with an option to pay upfront or spread over 24 monthly payments." where you seem to have it over 12 monthly payments.

I think that is because IDs only need service every two years..

GenerationGav said:

Although indeed I was told two years, so if this is just one service then it's actually considerably more expensive.

Well it is two years, because the ID.4 only needs to be serviced every two years... 😅 But yeah, I'm quite happy paying Cleevely £177 to come to my house and do it for me. I guess it'll be more than that if I need the brake fluid change, but I can't imagine I will after only two years... Plus, after they finish the ID.4 they'll do the Zoe sitting next to it - I'm very happy paying £339 to get both cars taken care of for another year (two more years in the ID.4's case!)
