Anyone know where i can get one for a 2.0.
wanted to know when the services, cambelt, and the b/fluid etc etc are due a change.

Best bet is your VW dealer, but generally:
10k miles / 1 year : Oil service
20k miles / 2 years : Inspection service
Brake fluid is every 2 years
Cambelt varies as it depends who you speak to but generally 40k miles / 4 years to be on the safe side and do the water pump at the same time...

If you have no history and want a starting point do it all.

I've got some good history (VW receipts and all up to last year), but am living by that principle too in getting everything done over the next little while, starting from scratch really:
New brakes and LLIII oil change done this month.
Renewing brake fluid, re-charge on air-conditioning and new air / pollen filters next.
Timing belt and water pump in the near future....

in december my car had a major service. Cambelt, Water-pump, Filters etc...
My reminder has just come up on the dash. What sort of service should i be getting?
Thanks

Does your air filter get very dirty Rhys? I checked mine back before the summer and it was quite dirty. I cleaned it with the Dyson!!

no worries mate :smiley:
i know Rich changes his oil every 5K!! Nutter! :grin: :grin:
Every 20K i'd change the fuel filter too - might be worth doing if yours hasn't been done for a while though its not as easy as the dervs as i believe its located under the car
-
i'll have a double check at what was last done. i just remember seeing a list of stuff lol.

Am going to check mine at the weekend as I don't think it was changed at the service a few weeks ago! :wink:
-
Cheers lads. it hasn't got no history but just wanted to know when the timing belt was due as its done 72k so hopefully it was done at 40k and just due for a another one but will replace regardless. another thing do use the 10 40 oil? :wink:
-
It's either 5w30 or 5w40 oil.... I can't remember which one! 5w30 I think :undecided:
