My local VW dealership parts dept is open all day on a Saturday btw so I assume they are all similar.

 

aye its open till 7.30 mon fri too, so no problemo.

So is the fuel filter easy

 

Jaysus. bought it all from vw.

Spark plugs were fiver each!!

Oil, Oil filter, Air Filter, Spark plugs, Fuel Filter costme over 50 quid!!

 

Should have gone to GSF most parts are the same and cheaper btw.

 

This was just wrong. 5 a plug! You got robbed.

 

OK last time I take advice from him

Anyway, I did it all yesterday, trickiest bit was the spark plugs, getting the air box off with no help from haynes, wasn't that hard tho, but i didnt have a proper plug socket.Nevermind.

I also did the fanbelt,piece of urine, its on a rack so just loosen a locknut then adjust it with the other there were teeth missing from the old belt!!!

heh seriously though, how often is it reccomended i change all of that?

I assume I just change the oil every 8k miles or so?

 

You did. Mine were 13 for four (inc VAT) from VW.
