Before anyone yells at me,i have done a search n think i've got the main jist of what's what but couple of questions...
Had the car 4yrs now and she's going in to be serviced in the next week or 2 and get all brakes done,discs n pads,the guy that's doing it is someone my dad knows but i'd like to get all the relevant parts so i know that they're decent bits being put on n not cheap crap marked up 100% profit,just in case....however i seem to have mislaid any paperwork for works carried out since i had her,dads friends prob didn't get any!!! Had cambelt changed when i got her as i recall and serviced,she was on apx 50k,now on 78k ish 4yrs on,have had work done as said but as time goes so fast no idea when.......therefore what i need to know is what parts should i toddle of n get myself?? Do i need to get oil/coolants or just let him do that sorta stuff? Can you tell if the cambelt needs doing and when should it be done again,is it 40k intervals?
Gsf or europarts,have both within easy reach although ep only have ate brakes n i wanted brembo standards! gsf have to order in standard discs tho so will have to do a return journey to collect....
Daren't order online as when i went before the guy told me i was changeover year n he needed my brake codes,which ones are these on the boot sticker,does anyone know,there's about 30groups of 3numbers on it? It's a 98regd rplate 8v cupra sport gti,they told me one catalogue code and Andyj said another,one digit difference but don't wanna get stuck with a) incorrect set n be without car b) get charged gsf's 25% or whatever skanky restock fee if they need to go back...
what are the recommended parts to replace on a big service and roughly how many hrs labour would i be looking at for all this? plus there's loadsa other bits i want him to do whilst she's in...2nd mortgage time!!
So,is there a complete list of purchases needed for a major service on here anywhere rather than threads with bits on each post??
Sorry to go on people,but may as well try n get it all out the way
Grateful for your help as always...
