VW Golf GTI Mk6 Edition 35 : 2021 service : Oil and Air Filters : 4000 miles completed

 

Service reminder popped up today during UK lockdown part 2 February 2021.

Last service was also done by me , see 

Service 2020


For these smaller jobs Ive now been servicing the GTI myself, as I plan to keep the car.  I have a trusted local garage for the jobs I dont want to tackle.

DSG and cam follower done by RTech at 38k , and given I have a standard fuel pump (not upgraded) dont feel the need to change this time around.

So lets just do Oil and Air

Bought a service kit from Fergusons of Stirling. You can buy direct or via ebay.

At the moment I only wanted to change the air and oil filters inc a sump plug.

They do all the service items so have a look around. 

Im happy with the cheaper 5w40 Millers oil as it get changed pretty frequently.

After that its fire up VCDS (I have an older micro can cable that works with mk6 cars) and reset SRI.

So the mileage between services over 1 year was

Last service 45500
This one      49546

So 4000 miles only this year given we've been in lockdowns in the UK for much of it!

Updated the service schedule.
Car now also given a wash and ready for another years running.
