Yesterday I refitted all boot carpet after doing the rear bumper vent fix.
Gave inside and out a good clean, new Auto Finesse air freshener.

Year 7 service today- done myself on my driveway.

Cost was around £70- for 6l Mobil oil and a genuine VW oil filter.

Saved a bit on a dealer service. More importantly, it was a much more enjoyable and satisfying experience.

The Sealey 6l extractor i bought for the job worked extremely well

The car is still ( nearly) mint and only does around 3k miles annually now.

This is where I get my money back- I can get many years of enjoyable service with very low depreciation and servicing cost.

And it still drives as well as it did the day I bought it.

You’re losing the oem look! Lovely looking wheels though. Give us your thoughts on how it affects ride.

Will do, like you, very low mileage these days so first report may take some time😂
