Car needs a service: Some advice on parts, please?
Howzit guys,
So, the Polo needs a service this month. I recently changed the cam-belt and water pump, with tentioner, so those items are good.
Also, I changed the polin filter not too long ago, with fuel filter.
How often do these parts need to be changed?
Nic - don't come here with your RFTM stories, I don't have one with me at the moment,
Lastly - regarding spark plugs - which ones should I get? someone said I should get ones that have more than one ignition point per plug??
Do those make any difference?

RTF, ag, never mind...
Based on what you have said, just change the oil, oil filter, air filter and spark plugs. And just get normal spark plugs, those multi point plugs will do nothing extra...

Thanks bud.
Does the brand of the plugs matter that much?

Re: Car needs a service: Some advice on parts, please?
I don't think so on a non-performance motor but the easiest thing to do is to go to a Goldwagen and ask them for the parts you need for your car. They are generally knowledgeable and will give you the right parts...
