Full service for newly bought Mk1

Featured Replies

So I’m very pleased with my 2007 Superb, had it three weeks and thought I’d give it a full service. Probably glutton for punishment as it will be pointed out what the faults are with a 13 year old diesel with 85,000 on the clock. 
In this particular model, what should I expect?

?

What do you mean by 'full service' ?

Are you replacing all fluids, so oil, coolant, brake fluid.

Is it a service of the engine that includes replacing belts, are you changing the fuel filer, air and pollen filter as well,

are you stripping the brakes to service them?

All of the above… I think.

Service done. Only fault was a slightly worn brake pad. Mechanic said that the car and this model itself, are “solid”. 
Happy days!

Indeed they are "solid".  Look after it and it will last a very long time.  Don't scrap it when it needs a dual mass flywheel and clutch. That's what has removed many from service. The car you replace it with won't be as "solid". 

How were the emissions in the last MOT?  That's the other issue.

Emissions were all good last MOT. Only minor thing is the garage said they didn’t know if the cam belt had been changed or not. It was recommended for the mileage of the car and I think £250 + labour and a water pump is very good value.

That’s very kind of you, thank you!
