Hey everyone, I bought a used CPO VW GTI MK6 (2010) with 45,500miles in 2015. Signed up on this forum, and then totally forgot about it. So consider this my first hello.
My mk6 now has 69500 miles on it and I’m about to do a 70k service of just oil, filter, and air filter. All other scheduled maintenance is up to date and the car is bone stock.
Car has no issues other than a vacuum hose came loose the other day and threw a bunch of misfire codes. Plugged the hose back in and car runs totally fine.
As much as I love this platform, I’m not much into performance tuning and modding - that’s why I ride motorcycles. My car needs to be durable, long lasting and practical.
I’m going to check to check if I have the old or new cam chain tensioner.
Other than that, what sort of things can you guys recommend I do in terms of preventative maintenance? Are there any other oem parts that are know to be shit that can be upgraded?
Thanks!
