Title: some guides required for service
Post by: njdudsbury on August 23, 2012, 09:15:13 pm
Is there any guides on here for the following:-
I'm capable of doing it but just need some pointers plus anything that would catch me out. I'm looking for changing pollen and air filter plus the plugs. Not paying another £180 quoted to do these will just get oil and filter just to keep my stamps up to date. Thanks very much.

When putting new plugs in, I don't advise using antisieze on the threads. NGK state that the correct torque is VERY important. Use a torque wrench and get it right. The correct torque for the TFSI cylinder head is on their website.
