Title: mk5 gti 2005 service history
Post by: mrggg on March 16, 2014, 01:35:18 am

would you consider a 2005 car with 50k miles on the clock with 6 service stamps as fsh?

Because people usually say its best to service a car every year, instead of every 10,000 intervals; is this true?

Depends what service regime it was on. Long life service is every 20,000 or 2 years and time and distance is 1 year 10000 and it can be changed between each service regime.

As long as there is a stack of paper work and the cam belt had been done twice as that is every 4years or 40000 miles and if its DSG its been serviced as well then there shouldn't be issues.

Yeah as above might be ok if it was on Longlife, so depends when those services were done.
