50,000 service

[dex130]

Hi all,
Got the week off work next week and i think im gonna service the mota. I was just wondering what the next service includes.

I understand it is cambelt time (Gonna leave that to the pros)
Oil and filter
Brake fluid (maybe not in the service but gonna do it anyhow and use dot5)
Air filter (green panel on its way)
Brakes are ok so no new pads

Can anyone tell me what else they do??

Also if somone could tell me where i can check and fill up the gearbox oil that would be a great help.

Cheers

What car is it? Brake fluid is due every 2 years

Oh yeah that may help its a sport tdi pd130. The brake fluid not being changed could explain the really dab break fade!!

Cambelt is due at 60k or at 4 years old

I fitted a green filter around 20k miles ago and haven't even cleaned it yet, looked fine when I checked it, so they are well worth the investment.
