GTI Edition 30 : 3rd service 40k miles and cambelt change
39800 miles (2.5 yrs old), the 3rd service on the car now completed.
all good, a cool 200 notes again , I mentioned the cold start cambelt sqeak which they couldnt hear.
they also wanted to replace a rusting bonnet catch.
So I took it back in yesterday so they could hear it from cold and do the warranty item
So I got it back today with a new cambelt/tensioners and waterpump.
VW recommend changing the water pump at the same time but wont pay for it!
So it cost me £50 for the pump, rest was done under warranty which is around £600 worth.
All done now and quite as a mouse :-)
Apparently the VW recommended period for the GTI is 4yrs or 120,000 miles !!!!
next up MOT end Sept
heres the 1.2 Polo I had as a courtesy car

O2 network scraps unlimited data for smartphones
from the BBC O2 network scraps unlimited data for smartphones
All new and upgrading customers will have their usage capped at between 500 Megabytes (MB) and one gigabyte (GB) depending on their monthly tariff.
maybe, just maybe this will improve the service, dunno but 3G is more miss than hit these days in Manchester.
Appears to work but in reality the doanload speeds are very variable.
