Full service.

Im going to start buying bits and bobs over the next few months to do a full service on my Rivage.

Saves me spending out at once then.

Below is a list of parts ive selected from euro car parts.

Would people recommend these bits or do you have any recomendations?

Also is there anything ive left out?

Ive left all the fluids off the list as ill pick these up from VW.

Cheers.

Ceri.

Thats the timing belt kit,dizzy cap and rotor arm that I have just fitted and they are spot on.

I have put a pipercross air filter in instead of the normal one  

Are you going to bid on that pack that I showed you ??

Brilliant.

At least I know some of the parts have been fitted and are ok.

Yeah ill be bidding on it.

Going to wait till its got a few hours left tho.

Its my bid that is on it just now but wont be bidding more and if it went for that, which it won,t I will send you what you need  :wink:

Ill leave it till the end then.

If you get it ill split the cost with you.

If I get it I dont want anything for it  :wink:

Anyone else got an opinion on the parts ive picked?

Fuel filter looks too pricey, are they really that much???

Don't forget that checking the brakes (you'll need something to clean them up with, and copper grease on reassembly), changing the coolant and greasing the hinges and door locks is also part of a FULL service.

If you want, you could go for a longlife oil filter, instead of the standard part, its a higher specification and finer filter mesh, so its better and with decent spark plugs and semi-synth oil you can stretch the service intervals to 12,000 miles/1 year if you want.

Cheers paul.

Im not to sure what fuel filters normally cost.

Ill be draining the coolent (buying new stuff from vw)

Brakes were changed a year ago but will make sure there ok.

I will also be buying a new thermostat

Paul_C your right the fuel filter is expensive.  I am in the filter business (Manufacturer for OEM's & Aftermarket)

I will speak with one of our distributors to see if they can do a discount for MK1OC members on filter Kits.

These guys can get hold of any filter by any manufacturer.

I have just ordered a full set for my Cab and its £12 for every filter! They are Mann & Hummell That i requested as they are a good German Brand.

PM me with your Reg number if you would like me to get a quote.

Thanks
