Service schedule? What is needed for a full service?

Hi,

I've had a 1999 polo for the past two years and have since covered 10k miles (60K on the clock) and have never serviced it :?

It did not come with the owner's manual or any other service documentation etc.. Is there an online copy of the service schedule and/or the owners manual available anywhere?
I've looked everywhere (google, pdf search sites etc.) but i couldn't find anything of use. :(

I'm assuming the usual air filter, oil and oil filter, spark plugs.
I would appreciate it if someone could kindly list what needs to be done and any recommended brand/type of parts to use.

Thanks!

so yeh with a service new oil, oil filter, air filter, spark plugs, if its not been serviced in 2 years then HT leads are a good un, might have damp in them so new ones can help. also check brakes over e.g. enough pads, sometimes bleed the brakes to be sure. once ive done that i normally take it to garage for tracking and balancing but depends on what your wanting really.

get yourself a haynes manual only 20 quid from most motor shops (Y)
