Car is coming up for 57K, has had the belt done at the last service. Think it's overdue a brake fluid change. My local Volkswagen garage quoted about £109 for an inspection service + oil and filter change. She said it would be an additional £55 for a brake fluid change.
I thought this would do it but it seems from reading other posts on here that I need the air filter and fuel filter done as well.
Upwards of £170 is too much for me to pay for a small service so pretty keen just to get the job done myself.
Can anyone please give advice about what I need for the job? So far I have the following checked:
Oil - What type is best for a TDI on fixed servicing and what quantity do I need?
Oil filter - Straightforward, I can get this from the dealer.
Sump plug washer?
Fuel Filter - No probs, should be straightforward.
Brake fluid - Quantity?
Air filter - Buy from dealer.
Not sure if I've missed anything. If anyone has a direct link to any guides which might help then I would appreciate that as it will save me rooting for them later!
Thanks again!
