Service, what a difference!

dandor · 6th April 2013, 21:31

performed a full service on my 75 1.8 t today and i cant belive the difference in how it drives. I have only had this 75 for two weeks and thought i would service it for peace of mind. I think the biggest part of the improvment came from the spark plugs, the old ones were disgracefull, each one had been leaking the compression from where the ceramic meets the collar. The car doesnt drive any faster but it is so much smoother and it is nearly impossible to feel the gear changes. Basically it puts that huge smile back on my face we all feel when driving our pride and joys.

Next.....Belts!
