Hi guys,
Recently bought a 2007 MKV Golf TDI and have some general questions about it. Firstly, the car has done 139,500 and was recently serviced. I'm thinking of changing the oil and filter myself for peace of mind. The car has full service history and was serviced at Jade auto repair, Rosebery which has decent rep around the forums. I live in south west sydney and wondering if someone can suggest a decent mechanic who does proper log book servicing and provides service summary like Major mechanics do.
Secondly, this is the first time me owning a turbo diesel car and was wondering any general guildelines in relation to its maintainence? Thirdly, I've noticed after coming home and parking the car, I can see bit of smoke under the hood or around the rocker cover, it smells like diesel/oil burning but it goes away soon after. I cant see any oil leaks under the car however I did notice that the engine oil is filed over the max sign whilst checking the oil indicator. I am not sure if that plays any part.. Couple of guys suggested it may be leaky fuel pump.
Thanks in advance and BTW if someone selling leather seats, door inserts and RCD510 for MKV, please contact me. I cant stand the cloth trim.
Also, what oil people are using for TDI. I was thinking of going with penrite oils as they worked 'great in my MPS.
