Do I need a service?

[tb130]

Hi All,

Apologies in advance if this is a bit dim but i've had a look around and can't seem to find the answer to what i'm looking for.

I got my '03 tdi130 in May with 63k on the clock. when I got it they did it's 60k service which included a cam belt change, oil, filters and rear pads. Since then i've racked up 12k due to commuting and am wondering what i need to do?

I changed the oil at 68k and am wondering if i should have put it in for a service at 73k (being 10k after the last service) or if an oil change every 5k is enough and then a service after 12 months?

Sorry if this is a bit muddled.

Any help would be appreciated, thanks in advance.

Tom

a basic service by most garages is just an oil chance, check sparks and new air filter

depends on the oil used and level of tune. i change oil every 5-6k but it still goes in for service when the light comes on.
basically all thats for is the stamp incase i decide to sell it

And how oftern does it need a stamp? 12months regardless of miles done in that time?

when ever the light comes on,
it depends if your on fixed or variable service. think fixed is 12months or 10k, variable is 20k but deends on how the car is driven as well
