Service question. What should I be changing yearly

[markcaughey]

2005 Mkv GTI DSG 84k miles

Basically as the title says. Coming up for a year since I had my car serviced and I'm wondering what to change ? I have only done 4k miles in the past year so not a lot I'm thinking
▪Oil and filter change
▪Fuel Filter
▪Air filter
I would like todo the dsg fluid again but not got vag com

I had the car last serviced under a year ago at 80k.
▪Timing belt kit
▪Dsg fluid change
▪Spark plugs
▪Oil and filter change
▪Fuel Filter
▪Air filter
▪Cam Follower

I would wait on the fuel and air filters, you haven't logged many miles since then. The rest is good practice and maybe the brake fluid is due? Coolant? Rotate the tires, check the pads and keep driving :thumbsup:

Did they do the water pump with the belts? If so, they probably changed the coolant too. Check the receipt.

Unless you spend a lot of time at the track, just go by the book. Granted that anything supposed to be "lifetime" should probably be changed at 80k or so.

How old are your coil packs?

Oh, and check the muffler bearings.

Also what's your opinions on oil treatments/flush are they worth the time and money ? If so what one could anyone recommend

Yeah water pump was done

Oil treatments and flushes are not necessary if you have been using vw spec oil and changing regularly.
