Service intervals and components for MK5 GTI


Hi all,
I bought a second hand imported 2008 MK5 GTI with BWA engine and DSG with 30,000 kms .

Unfortunately the car didn't come with user manual and I haven't been able to source one yet.

Could someone please tell me what are the upcoming service components and mileage interval for this specific engine and gearbox ?

So for 15,000 miles plus the next two intervals.

Many thanks :)

Cambelt & water pump if it hasn't already been done as your car is over 4 years old and has just turned 6 in case you don't subscribe to the 4 year rule.

Mileage wise your car is very young so most other parts on it should be fine for a while unless over those 18.5k miles its had its arse ragged off it.

A DSG driver should be able to let you know what the score is regarding DSG servicing.

I am planning to get cambelt and water pump done in next few months. Wanted to change DV and PCV in case but I'm not having any issues with either of them, so not sure if I should do it now or wait.

How frequent the fuel pump cam follower should be changed ?

As well as brake and coolant fluid? And fuel and air filter ?


The car was checked by the dealer and they said there's no sign of mistreatment and has the service history with it.
