Which first ?
« on: 11 February 2010, 17:17 »
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.

Would be DSG oil for me, too. :afro:

The GTD is like a blow up doll. The GTI is like a proper woman. Sure the doll might last longer, and the woman might have higher running costs, but which would you rather have?
