My car is a 06 gti only got 14000 on clock . In June it wants 4year service , and the car as the 4th year warranty . Cam belt needs doing and dsg oil changing . Was going to spread them out over time. One done around now then service in June and cam or dsg later again . Which would you have done first cam or dsg oil . :undecided:

dsg oil first, as the oil is more likely to be fooked, esp as its done such low miles over a long time.
cam belt could be left for at least another year imo.
:laugh:

if ya get the two done together you'll get a better deal, mines just been done, for the two it cost me £400 not to sure if this is a great deal but i was happy enough so :) ... id imagine the more you have done the better the deal..

What a waste! I've already covered 6k since I got mine in October.

To enjoy a car does not mean you have to do 20,000 miles per year .
My car is driven alot just don't do lots of miles because it's not used
for work . Also if it's ice snow , or car as been cleaned and there is rain I
can leave it in garage and nip out in my work car ( corsa )

You should defo get the water pump changed when the cam belt + tensioners are done! It would be easier to change at the same time with the work they are doing, I am sure some of the guys can say why it’s also technically a good thing to do at the same time also.

Only had mine 9 months, got it off an old lady with on 7K on the clock in the 3 years she owned it :laugh:
