New 02 PD 130

[ebo007]

Hello all,

I have just purchased an MK4 02 PD130 after becoming a bit sick of my mk3 GTI. The car has full service history but it is due one soon along with an MOT. Its my first diesel so I am looking for a bit of advice on what to replace to ensure the car runs at its best other than the usual service kit of filters & oil etc.

Can anyone advice any sensors, boost pipes etc that I will have to change eventually that I can do at the time of the service just for piece of mind. Some will say if its not brokern dont fix it, but I would rather spend a we bit extra changing small things when it is getting serviced.

PS: I know the timing belt is due in around 10k so thats already being though of.

Cheers

First things first, get yourself an Allard EGR Delete Kit.  There's a few threads on them on here and they're well worth doing as you'll see by the pics showing the state of the EGR Valve and Inlet Manifold!
