VW Golf GTI Edition 35 : yearly service 4916 miles for 2022-23

 
given the low mileage, at the moment my service reminder fires approx every year.

53285 miles Feb 2022 : see 2022 service blog entry

58201 miles 1/05/2023

sum total of 4916 miles for 2022 to 2023

Fergusons for Stirling for the parts

there are lots of combinations but I chose for this service

• Oil 5w/40 miller's   (I prefer to run 5/40 as opposed to 5/30 in a stage 1 CDL engine) checkout  lots of great info at Rtech tuning TFSI
• Oil Filter Bosch comes with lip seal included
• Sump plug and washer
• Millers oil flush (first time ive tried this, not sure how snake oily this is!)
• Pollen filter bosch

Total cost £63.92 (if you buy directly rather than through ebay its cheaper)

oil did seem to drain easier with millers flush (placebo?)
I like to pour clean oil into the filter to allow it to wick up oil ready for the start.


replacement pollen filter!
always worth doing, of note you can see bosch are cost cutting.
replacement had no printing on side and the general rigidty and thickness of material felt less

Reset service interval using VCDS 

(i have a micro can cable I use for the mk6 , it has no VIN lock limit)

All ready for the year ahead
