Title: What does it all cost
Post by: DaveGTiMK on 02 August 2007, 15:08

Hi peeps, I am new to VW's and was wondering a few things about them?

Cost of a basic service?
Best oil?
Best plugs?
Service intervals?

16v bits seem to cost 10-30% more than the 8v, is this common or am I just looking in the wrong place?

How easy to service myself? only ever changed oil once back when I was 17, might try it again to save on costs.

What other fluids get changed regular?

Imput welcome. :smiley:

what car is it first off, and really the best place to be asking is in the model specific areas... oil change is a puddle of urine. most bits and peices are very dooable too. invest in a haynes manual specific to your model and that will give a good idea.

cost of a service by garages vary dependant, i've personally never bothered and just done it all my self. dont fix it if it aint broke as the old man says.
