Servicing

[RUM4MO]

It doesn't sound very much like you are willing to bring this car back up to what it should be - does it?

Quoted £465 for a full service at the dealership.
Full meaning, oil and filter change. Air filter change. Pollen filter change. Spark plugs change. Overall check of vehicle.

Got it down to £303 by opting out of the spark plugs change. Never had a problem with starting up or performance. So willing to leave that out for the savings.
Absolutely gutted about the price but I want a decent service with the proper parts so I am going to the dealership.
As well as I need someone who knows what they're looking at to check if my brakes have been installed properly.

This car's costing me a fortune

proper parts, oil filter and air filter: mann, mahle, knecht,
proper cabin filter: any, want to filter more get a carbon one
Oil any brand of oil that meets the standards od your engine. Want really high quality of oil Motul is one of your brands: eneos, ravenol, liqui moly, mobil1, castrol, shell, Aral.

You want it extra fine buy a copper washer for the sump and can of brake clean.

Its not like VW makes the fluids or filters, they get them from big names mentioned up, and get their logo stamped on.

You want brakes, EBC, ATE, TRW, Textar, Brembo, Ferodo.
