Ok people I need help.

For a couple of days I need to service my Sup.

She has 69600 km on a clock, and I wonder, what do I need to do along regular service?

I service her on each 2 years, and exactly match 10.000 km, because I dont drive very much, and have second car for city driving.

Do you have the service schedule?  There is a big list of things in there that the dealerships ignore when you take the car to them for service (like cleaning out the plenum chamber, greasing hinges, etc)...

 

Even if I was only driving 10,000 miles in 2 years I think I would be reluctant to leave the oil in there for two years.  If you are DIY servicing then just do all the filters at once - air, oil, pollen and fuel.  The total for all filters and a good quality oil is less than £50.

 

If I recall your brake fluid also needs changing if it has been in there for 2 years.

Ok, we didnt understand well.

I will DIY how to say little service-like changing filters, oil, atc...but I was hoping to get answer what do I need to do for "big" service, like timming belt from one who already did this.

And what you think, is it good to buy not OEM filters?

I was buying Oem parts, filters and oil(Castrol Edge 5w30) and I had garantie that is good minimum 2 years or 15000 km. But I change on 10k.

I have some expirience and also I will change my brake fluid by myself, even its not my profesion..

Ah I understand, sorry.  

 

On the filters issue rotodiesel is our resident expert, but it seems good brand filters like Mann and Bosch are fine.  In any case VW don't make their own filters; I prefer the Mann fuel filter to the OEM part by UFI (made in China).  Also, Mann do an activated carbon pollen filter which is only a little more expensive and I figure better for my health.

 

For my 1.9 I wished that when I had had timing belt done that they also did aux belt tensioner, aircon belt tensioner and alternator pulley, as I had to do these shortly after myself.  But I don't know much about 2.5.

And if you have ZF gearbox (tiptronic) it might be a good idea to think about fluid and filter change for that...

Thank you very much for answers. :beer:

So, you think that non Oem parts like filters are as good as Oem? Many people think so, and I need to convince myself.

Because, Im in love with my Sup, and I dont know destiny but there isnt car that could replaced her. So I want best for her, and I dont want to save money on car. I save money on me.

Luckily I dont have triptronic, my gearbox is manual. Because I have choose manual.

Hmmmm, once again I would like to thank you, obviosly I would need to find a help to stealer, because people with 2.5 here are prettey quit.

Could you remember price for that parts? I know you cant remember exactly but around, it would be nice to compare price overhere and in UK.

I tend to buy most of it from mister-auto, who are actually based in France but ship to UK. Good prices and good service. I think most of the parts for 1.9 are different, so probably not much point telling you the prices

Ok people newsss....

Big service on 100.000 km, woohooo

Big service on 100.000 km 

 

You've got too much money if you can afford a big service every 100km!! :p
