Servicing and Best Place for Parts

pootas · Post by **pootas** » Tue Feb 20, 2007 2:29 pm

The Polo has done just over 50k and I think nows a good time to give it a good service.

I'm gonna get the belts, tensioner and waterpump done in the garage and try to do the rest myself.

Off the top of my head I want to:

Change Disks and Pads
Change Brake Fluid
Change Coolant
Change Oil and Filter
Change Fuel/Pollen Filter
Change Gearbox Oil
Change Spark Plugs

I'm just trying to source some bits for the car and prices seem to vary so was wondering where people find the best place to buy parts online??

Any help is much appreciated....

Yeh they seem good but the only problem is there isn't much in the online catalog compared to other sites...This is really what I need to price up the parts....

The only other site i've ever bought car parts from was www.potn.co.uk.

Also it just crossed my mind.......

What belts exactly do I need changing?? Is is the cambelt and alternator belt?? May seem like a daft question but I don't do much work to my cars they normally go straight to a garage but I wanna make sure the Polo gets serviced properly....

There's GSF and Euro Car Parts. Both are very good, and they both deliver to your door.

Are there any particular brands you would recommend when I'm looking for the belts? And what sort of price should I be paying for the belts and tensioners?
