Hi guys,
I've had a couple of MK5's over the years but not had one for a little while, after recently selling my track ready MX5 I have chucked a little bit of that cash into a 2007 manual GTi, it's on 125k miles but has full service history and a very recent cambelt/water pump, service history is great and has only had 3 owners!
I've just ordered absolutely everything I need to do a full service myself..
- Oil & filter
- Fuel filter
- Discs and pads all round
- Cabin filter
- R8 coil packs
- NGK spark plugs
I've also ordered some less essential, but still nice to have bits such as a full cold air intake kit new Bosch wiper blades & then some lower suspension arms as they were an advisory on the latest MOT. Along with this I have a full set of coil-overs to fit once I can find where they are in my garage as I bought them brand new and never fit them to my last MK5, will check they are all good etc as they have been sitting for a while!
I have also ordered a new Cam follower to replace the existing one, I have no idea if it's been done before but thought i'd do it anyway just to make sure. What else do I need to look at, is there anything else that you would suggest is something i need to check or add to the above list?
Cheers
Joe
