Title: Basic maintenance
Post by: abz132 on February 04, 2017, 12:00:22 pm

Hi guys. Just got a MK5 GT TDI 140 and I was wondering what part should I look at replacing maintenance wise? I've had a full service done but other than that are there any parts that I should look in to changing due to general wear and tear? Not talking about styling or performance mods, just basic maintenance things to keep the car feeling fresh.

Thanks

PCV, Diverter Valve and Cam Follower is probably the best place to start.
