rich83 - Edition 30..... Breaking
MC71:
^^^^ What gets changed/checked on a 5k service?
rich83:
Just oil and filter.
Dave J:
Good work Rich - used to service my mkiv every 5k once it was seriously tuned.
Every 10k was a garage service and every 5k I'd change the oil & filter at home.
Should help the car no end :smiley:

So all the subframe bolts replaced and tightened up to correct spec. Seems better.
Got a few things to do this year... Cam chain, and timing belt need doing. I think the mechatronics unit is on its last legs too so that will be getting changed over the next 2 years, or if it dies. :sad1:
Also needs the valves cleaning

Mines just hit 85k too. How do you know the mechatronics unit is failing?
I've not got my service book with me either but is the timing chain due at this mileage too or is that just a precaution?
Have you looked into treacle for the valves? I'd never heard of it till yesterday and I thought it might be good for my valves but there seems very hit and miss reviews.
