Afaik,brake fluid change is part of the 3rd year service,so should have been done today as part of that
I think you may find that brake fluid change is a chargeable item on the service schedule.

Of course it is,but it's part of the scheduled service,so it should have been done....not flagged up as an advisory,that was my point "Better to remain silent and be thought a fool,than to speak out and remove all doubt" ?.....what rubbish...

Seen the signs on the service desk but dismissed them as income generation. Saved a few scheckels over the 8 years.

£483 seems a tad excessive for an oil and filter change My D3 Build Thread

With regards to a/c the system. It relies on oil, much like your engine. It also has a filter! And is suseptible to moisture contamination and gas leakage and air in the system when the gas gets low.
These faults can damage the a/c compressor, which never brakes on Rrs / d3 does it ???
An a/c sevice can prevent failure and ensure the system last much longer
