Hi everyone, i have a 2006 Altea 1.9 TDi 105. I'm going to get it serviced soon by our local, trustworthy garage, but what can i do myself to cut costs down? I understand changing the air filter is simple, but if anyone can think of other stuff, let me know.

Also, does anyone have issues with lump/juddery acceleration in 5th gear? Suggestions for possible reasons please!

Yeh you could just service it yourself, save some money and the satisfaction its been done right.
Air filter
Pollen filter
Oil and filter change
Fuel filter
and depends if glow plugs are due ?
