130tdi - 60,000 miles service
Discussion
Morning all,
We've got a manual A6 with the 1.9tdi 130 coming up for it's 3rd service. It will fall at about 60,000 miles and the car will be about 3.5 years old.
I've got a good Inde lined up and know that cambelts need doing.
But basically, what else 'above and beyond' should I get done to keep the workhorse running for many years to come?
I've read snippets like:
change the idlers/rollers tensioner
change auxilary belts
renew the tensioners and pulleys
German Swedish and French brass replacement for the plastic water pump which uses a plastic impeller
As you can see, I know nothing about these, but want to spend on top notch maintinance so that it minimises issues down the line. The car is likely to stay with us for a few years yet.
All help, much appreciated.
Cheers,
Matt
