Service!
« on: 29 November 2009, 20:07 »
Guys I want to service the wifes car for the cold weather.
It's a 52 plate GTI 8v and APK engine code 115bhp.approx 60k miles.
What do I need for the service and wheres the best place to get the stuff from.  :rolleyes:

4 x plugs
leads
Dizzy cap & rotor arm
Oil filter
Air filter
Sump washer
Oil (what grade and how much does it take?)

Is there anything else I need?.
Arnold shark said they serviced it before she bought it but I have my doubts  :undecided:
So i'd like to just do it all and I know where I stand then.It just passed it's MOT  :smiley: .
She only uses it to go back and forward to work (8-10 mile round trip) and the odd run about at the weekends
So she dosn't blast about at mad speeds..

Thanks for any info you can forward on.

Pollen filter  :wink:

You dont get a sump washer you get the whole plug for a pound (or less from the link below)  :laugh:

A good quality  10/40 oil will be fine. Takes approx 4.5l IIRC

Check prices with VW first as SOME items will be cheaper then elsewhere  :smiley:

A local parts depot or www.vwspares.co.uk for anything else  :smiley:

Hi
In that case you can save yourself the hassle of changing the plugs, leads, dizzy and rotor.
