Maintenance For MK5 GOLF GTI Pirelli

[pirelliscott]

Hey I'm looking at changing a few things for my car and just need some advice on if these would be the best parts ?

Spark Plugs - NGK BKR7EIX

Cam Follower - 06D109309R

Diverter Valve - 06F145710G

PCV - 06F129101R

and also what would be the best oil to use ? its a manual and I've been told 5w40 anyone recommend any brand names ?

thanks in advance :D

I think millers nano drive is highly rated

Yeah those are the right part numbers, most prefer the rev G dv over the rev D.

Depends who you ask regarding plugs, some say stick with oem bosch, others prefer the NGKs. I think if you're running bigger power the NGKs could be an equal option.

Castrol Edge 5w30 or Quantum longlife 3 5w30. Apparently they are the same thing, but Quantum is usually much cheaper. eBay has it at £25 for 5 litres.

It does depend what's in the car right now. You don't really want to mix oil grades.

and how would i find out what is in the car now ?

Look at the service book and ring whoever serviced it last time, or ask the previous owner.

The best thing to do is to just have it changed again. I do that whenever I buy a car. Buy the oil: £25
Filter: £10 I think?

Not much for peace of mind.
