| Welcome. Best advice is to keep clear of the Group Buy section, it will cost you dearly!! There will be talk of stainless exhausts, sump guards, leather retrims and remaps to mention but a few. Make sure you have a litre of the correct oil handy - it can be hard to find on a sunday afternoon when you realise you need it. I always use VAG screenwash to prevent blocking of the fan jets. Browse the forum, you'll pick it up as you go.

| Hi and welcome. Good choice of car with low mileage! Nice find. Yes the service...is it on variable servicing. Use only good oil and the service parts are not expensive so I would suggest genuine. Spark plugs are pretty expensive but well worth it. Sarah |
