hi, i have done a service every 10000 miles on my a2 2004 1.4tdi apart from one time someone said i needed a spring changing so i let the garage do it. it's now on 55000 miles and i would like to know if there is anything other that the normal i will have to change ?

i thought i would do the fuel filter myself aswell this time after reading a post.

any help would be great.

When was the cambelt last changed?

Do you have the owner's handbook where it lists the service items and at what mileage those parts and checked/replaced? If not, I'll try to remember to check mine this evening for you.

it's an audi A2 owner's manual iv got and i cannot find any list to say what parts to change at what miles in my book.

iv looked on the web and cannot find anything that says i need to change anything else that the normal stuff like oil and filter's.

regards.

i had a service book with the car but lost it so i got another from audi but this one does not have a schedule in it but i only got it stamped once anyway then i started doing the sevice myself every 10k. i am doing the fuel filter this time and it will need it i think after putting unleaded petrol in it about a month back, the garage said just fill the tank up and it clean the system and it was fine but thought i would do the filter this time anyway.

According to my book:

Diesel only

@10k
oil and filter change

@20k
oil and filter change
pollen filter

@40k
oil and filter change
air filter change
fuel filter change

@60k
air filter if car used in severe conditions

All the above also includes quite a few checks to other items

that is great thank you, should i wait for 60k then as i think the fuel filter needs doing now and im not sure about the air filter lasting 20k as i do a lot of round town driving that is why i started do it every 10 or 12k and it's not that hard to do just oil and filter and air filter what do you think?

I would recomend to do the pollen filter at the same time. I do mine every year. As I am the same as you and do a lot of town driving. It makes a big difference on the air quality inside te cabin.

Cheers
