Hi.
I have a Fabia 5J with 1.2 77 TSI engine. (CBZB)

Plug leads don't seem to last well - last 4 services it had new plugs and leads 4 years ago, again at 3 years ago with new coil pack as well, then last two services not replaced (but new timing chain a year ago) and all OK at...

Hello,

Is anyone able to explain the difference between the essential service/ plus and a regular logbook service? I understand the essential services only cover oil, brake fluid and cabin filter however that is generally what most services cover unless it’s a major service. Will these...

Hey Guys, first time poster.

I am in the market for a r32 looking around the $12-15k mark. I have read plenty of threads about major servicing around 60k and the importance of DSG and Haldex services.

However due to the budget (and age of car I guess) I am looking at a range...

So the dealer contact me this afternoon saying I am due for the post warranty service at 6 months/10,000 km limits.

I try to do all my own services and repairs( not that it ever needs fixing).
Great piece of kit.

Hi, it appears that many of us have the oil changed between services, either every 5,000 ( so twice between services) or at the 7,500 mark in between services. I recently asked my local dealer for the cost of just an oil change and it was $210, using a brand of oil called TOTAL.

To me...

So what do you do when your service book runs out of pages to record your services...

You get bored, knock up something that looks about right, print it double sided, saddle stitch a couple of pages together then glue it into the back of your book sacrificing (what turned out to be) an...

So I am looking around for a 2011 onwards passat for the wife.
What are peoples thoughts on regular services documented, however

Hey Guys
I am the proud owner of a 1974 B1 Passat with about 280,000km. It cost me a crippling $1 back in 2011 and has been running (relatively) smoothly ever since. Up until now I have been having professional services done but would like to learn how to do them myself, hopefully someone can...

Hey guys,

My MKV GTI is up for its 45,000km service so I thought I would call around and find out the price for a service. I assume MK6 prices would be very close or similar, so I thought I would share this.

All these prices are quoted without asking for a "better...
