Hey guys,
I have a Golf MK3 TDI. It's done 140k and i've had it about a month. I bought it off an old family friend who is a mechanic so its in pretty good condition. I can tell he has looked after it.
However, I just wanted some advice on a couple of jobs I wanted done for it. Over time, I gradually want to get all aspects of the car looked over and replaced if necessary.
As I live in central london and park my car on the street, there is absolutely no way I can pull my car to bits and service parts which is frustrating because I would really like to learn more about the engine!
However, I just wanted some advice on individual jobs I could instruct the garage to do on my car.
Firstly I was going to tell them to take a part the whole air system and give it a could clean out. They charge 45/hour. How long do you think it would take?
Secondly, I wanted the turbo cleaned. Is this a viable option?
What else could I do?
Im still a student so I was hoping to do one bit of maintenance every 2-3 weeks.
Thanks for your help
Nick
