Frenemies Golf R versus WRX

Before nosotros begin, thanks ShopDap for posting the Golf R and GTI Service Schedules. Check those links out before continuing. I wanted to do a service to the customs past posting a guide on each service interval and what you'll need to practice it yourself.

Here are links to parts you'll demand for every single service interval:

  • Oil Funnel: http://amzn.to/2eKKWHN
  • Mityvac 7201 Fluid Evacuator Plus: http://amzn.to/2eKpnXP (not needed if yous use a jack stand up or ramps)
  • Shop Towels: http://amzn.to/2uTXjHF
  • Quality 3/viii″ drive westward/ Torx Gear up & Wrench (these links are what I employ and they've never failed me and you can practice nearly everything to your motorcar with this set short of suspension / restriction jobs)
  • Oil Filter Housing Socket: http://amzn.to/2uxh0Cv
  • Jack Stands: http://amzn.to/2tWwVZu OR Ramp: http://amzn.to/2uubW3E
  • Aluminum Flooring Jack: http://amzn.to/2uxdb05
  • Oil: https://amzn.to/2ECvrvU (just make certain it meets 502 spec)

You need these every 10K miles because that's when you change the oil

Earlier we get started, if you're maintaining your own vehicle, join MyCarFax. Dealers will update your CarFax with maintenance performed. You'll have to do this yourself and you tin can enter the mileage, piece of work performed and exist as bones or extensive as you'd like. I have an account. It'due south bang-up and helps me keep track of service as well with reminders on when things are due.

Proceed in heed, if you plan on driving your GTI or Golf game R spiritedly, these service intervals will shift. It'south not a bad idea to fifty-fifty one-half these intervals if you lot drive similar a maniac with lots of track days. I did my 40K mile maintenance at 20K miles which adds to my full price of ownership. If you use this as a driver auto, follow the maintenance intervals and y'all'll accept a great experience and long fourth dimension ownership of the car.
