Hi

I have just picked up a MK5 GTI 2006 so have joined the ranks of having a fun car again :)

Needs a Service as at 40,000 anybody know a good garage near Sunbury on Thames for servicing ?

Many Thanks
Stumpey

Welcome to the forum.

Get it booked in at AKS Tuning, its a good hour away from you but whilst its there get some extra bits fitted  :wink:

I used to live in Ashford so not far from sunbury. You could always google to see if theres any local Vag specialists around.

I've been to them before for parts before and they were quite helpful. Wouldnt like to pay for that little bill though.

^^^^ as your changing the bushes anyway (and haven't had it done yet), go for polyurethane ones, much better bushes. Have a look at Superpro or Powerflex or Whiteline, all good.

My GTI is going in for a Cam belt / pump and DSG service tomorrow, just got a call from VW Garage saying that they had checked my car in the VW system and it has not had the coil pack change , they would be doing this tomorrow at VW expense.... Impressed !!
