First service for my 2007 2.0 tdi

Hej,

Longlife service is a VAG term for f#cking yer engine up!....do some searches on here and you will read many a thread about the disadvantages of long life services to your car. Longlife service as the name suggests, is suppose to be a longer time interval between services....which is fine in theory but leaving old dirty engine oil in your engine for months and months is never a good idea in my book. I would take your car off Longlife and go for regular oil and filter changes every 6,000 miles. Some of the Members will say longer, but that's what I have always done with cars I have owned with turbo engines, petrol or diesel.
I use any full synthetic 5 40 ( Sweden spec ) for mine, but not sure what the UK diesel spec is. Am sure someone will come along shortly with the UK spec for the oil burners.
I would always use genuine VAG Oil fliters and fresh sump plug. Not the most expensive part to buy from a VAG dealer. Not worth the risk of buying a dodgy knock off fliter. I have recently changed to a dimplex magnetic sump plug just to be on the safe side. Check this out....quite scary! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vjRmrYqKmPM
