Service parts - what is needed?

[dynebaruk]

Hi guys (and gals)

Trying to sort out how much I need to set aside for when I invest in a mk3 cupra. I want to make sure I give out a really good service as soon as I get it to make sure nothing goes wrong with it. So far I've got:

Timing belt kit
Spark plugs
Fuel filter
Oil filter + Oil
Water pump (metal propellor)
Coolant
Air filter (might aswell go for a proper panel filter)
New wiper blades (will get Aero wipers)
Drive/ fan belt

I was also looking at getting an oil pump too as I believe they are driven off the timing belt? Euro parts do one for £77 which is quite a bit of money. Is it worth doing?

Anything else I should get done?

Thanks

Oh right, is this inside the engine then? How much are they?
