Hi everybody I've just bought 2006 GTI with 77k miles I'm going to get the timing belt waterpump and DSG service before I start using the car, and I've been looking for as much info as possible and this seems to be the best place for it. It was imported 2 years ago and the speedo still reads kph, I know there is thread where someone has already asked this but thought there might be some new info on it, the best or easiest way to get it reading mph.
Also I would like some advice there is an oil leak at the back of the head it looks quite high sort of around the camshaft area, so was wondering would this be to do with the PCV and when or if to change the PCV and is this same as crankcase valve and does this need changing if they are not the same things.
I'm also concerned about the cam follower but I'm thinking I don't need to worry about this for a while am I correct.
I'm not really used to getting repairs done as my previous car is a 2003 Octavia TDI with 230k and never needed anything really except servicing.
Thanks very much for any help anyone can give it's really appreciated

Thanks for the reply. I had already read that post before I'd posted mine. I was hoping that there might have been an easier way haha. I've just ordered a set of clocks off eBay so I'll see how it goes.

Lewo:
Do the cam follower, peace of mind.

mjmallia:
Check the cam follower ASAP if not done recently, the DV for tears and vacuum pump for oil leaks (change the seals)

Other service items like the fuel filter and cabin filter get over looked.
