What's done on a major service?
« on: 31 December 2007, 12:51 »
Hi, I'm thinking of servicing my 99 gt tdi 110 myself, due to the rip-off price VW want for doing it. It will be a major service (80k). It has aleardy had new brakes & the timing belt done, so was wondering what else apart from new oil, air, fuel & pollen filters & levels checked gets done at a major service? Also, can anyone tell me the correct oil for this model? Cheers   :smiley:

you've covered most things

on the 80K you should grease all the hinges and runners, brake fluid IIRC is every 4 years

i'll check my haynes when i get home.
