6,000 miles or 6 months
£40–£70

Periodic maintenance

Items that don't need doing at every service but should be on your radar at the right mileage or age.

Service itemIntervalTypical cost
Spark plugs
Replace every 2 years or when misfiring occurs. Use correct heat range specification. Worn plugs cause poor starting and increased emissions.
MK1
20,000 miles or 2 years
£30–£50
Brake fluid
Change every 2 years regardless of mileage. Brake fluid absorbs moisture which reduces braking performance and causes internal corrosion.
MK1
2 years
£35–£55
Coolant flush
Replace coolant and flush system every 4 years. Use correct antifreeze specification. Old coolant loses corrosion protection and can damage radiator and water pump.
MK1
40,000 miles or 4 years
£50–£80
