Value for money or not?

Yeah, but all that money you save you would have to spent on people putting the rubber back on your wheels after they keep falling off

if you drove your car more than the tesco run, you may find it ends up happening to you

lol yeah, 13k since May to Tesco and back

"every little helps"

each to their own, but the MG isn't my cuppa. Besides my dog would stupid(er) in a convertible (he's an oversized labrador! )

sounds a good spec

budget for remap, dv, cambelt and waterpump (and any other little extra), so an extra £1k to budget for too ;-)

[DanoGTI]

I did ask this before......

Servicing then. On a 44K car, I'm guessing the cambelt will need doing?
Waterpump - just because the cambelt's being done?
DV - are these weak? I've only got experience of the Subaru (brick sh1thouse!) and Audi ones - never needed to change em

Remap - well, of course but only once I've got  Miltek sorted

Waterpump - just because the cambelt's being done? - Might aswell.

DV - are these weak? I've only got experience of the Subaru (brick sh1thouse!) and Audi ones - never needed to change em - The early models came with weak DVs so this 05 one will probably come with a B version (my 05 GTI had a B) which is weak and prone to popping after a remap. I went the Forge route and got one of theirs but the new G versions from VW are pretty solid.

Queried the dealer about the cambelt being due - here's his response....

"Cambelts are due at 80k on 2.0T so not been changed as not yet due."

So by this definition, the car won't need a cambelt change the entire time I own the car...


Sounds wrong to me.....

Hence my need to see what the VW service schedule is!

Iv got two letter from the dealer I bought the car from and the dealer I took to have it serviced stating its due at 4 years OR 60k. Sounds like your dealer is getting himself in a muddle as when they first came out it was 80k but revised down to 60k.
