Re: Service
K&N air filter, costs more up front, around £40ish, but the cotton element is washable unlike standard paper ones, think it increases performance as well.
As for the rest, depends when it was last replaced/renewed, look up some VW recommendations of when to change things, double it (jokes), and get it done

I'd agree if you want to achieve "keep it going nice".g__humm wrote:Genuine parts.
Okay, for plugs VAG use NGK so get correct model somewhere cheaper than VAG, engine oil - maybe get Fuchs from GSF also they sell Textar and Pagid pads - same as VAG fit at factory (Pagid front Textar rear), discs from GSF or ECP, oil and air filters from VAG. Just remember, you will probably only use a couple of air filter elements in the time you end up owning this car, so K&N might not make sense and if you are generous with oiling it you will cause MAF problems.
