What a nice gentleman you are, it's good to see someone with passion in what they do. I'm a newly trained technician and you're the kind of boss I would really like to work for.
very comprehensive and exactly what I call a "service", minor checks are done all the time and major ones are checked MOT time. Ignore the haters and thanks for doing this.
I always take the dipstick out too,so when I am putting new oil in, it can displace air from the sump Just remember to put the stick in a position that you cannot forget it & make sure that it's pushed home fully on refitting it. Also, I ALWAYS make a note of the engine oil capacity from the engine specs. I then note what needs to be put in from the marks on the new oil container as the sides are sometimes transparent on some containers,with 1 or 1/2 Ltr fill level marks. NEVER overfill with oil,it can & will ruin the engine.
Thanks Mick, I had my golf serviced today ( just a basic) and it cost me AU$288, ($200 was labor) and am not complaining as I thought that was pretty good. After watching your informative video, I reckon I could probably do this myself. Thanks for taking the time to do this video.
one thing to mention, you said that replacing the sump plug is exactly the same, but it often isnt. a new crush nut or washer should be placed there instead
You should always put a bit of copper grease or old oil round the new seal on the oil filter cup oterwise it can chew the seal when puting it back in and also will help the next person to service the car as it won't be stuck in
Just completed a 60k service on my Audi A3 2.0 (170) TDI S Line Sportback. When the fuel filter housing was dismantled to change the filter, the housing and filter was full of a black oily/ diesel mixture. It was diagnosed that my 'Tandem' or fuel and vacuum pump had started to fail; the diaphram inside it had failed and was allowing engine oil to be mixed with diesel which was then pumped around my fuel system. A new pump was fitted the filter housing cleaned and two bottles of fuel additive was put into my fuel tank to clear out any oil residue from the system. The pollen filter you pulled out appeared to be an actived charcol version which despite the leaves and bugs on it, was supposed to be that colour.
Very good video with handy tips. One tip I have is when you pull the oil filter out take it away to the bench or somewhere else because you left it on top of the engine and made a mess I seen the oil dripping down in around the engine. Just an idea.
A little late to get here but great content! It is evident that good preparation has gone into making these videos. Do keep up the good work.DIY lessons for cars can't get any better! I wish you all the success in your business!
Thanks for making this tutorial for free! I found it very informative and easy to understand, I have a question as I'm trying to improve my knowledge and understanding of cars. Do you think these same servicing tips will apply to a petrol powered car? I own a 2007 Volvo C30 T5 for reference, and I'd like to perform my own services on it. I noticed that the Volvo's engine is assembled similarly to a Golf's.
Thanks for posting this up, I just have a question, while you make it look easy, on a scale of 1-10, (10 being hardest) for someone with only basic knowledge of cars how easy would it be to give your car a major service ? i.e perhaps more comprehensive then what you have shown here. Also, in labour time, how much time do you think something like this should take ? I am looking at really learning the ins and outs.
So i don't feel okay taking my car to the mechanic knowing that i can fix and service it myself. Well i'm not a mechanic but i can say i'm a car guy. I don't want anyone else to work on my car unless it's something i can't fix my self. I have an 08 mkv gt sport 1.4 tsi golf and i would like to know how often i should service it, how often i should change each filter and fluid. I recently got it and i changed the oil only as my mech told me oil filter wasn't necessary. Should i just go ahead and change everything or wait for the service mileage to come? Really helpful video and definitely gets you into the whole spirit of service of a car! Nice work.
Fantastic vid! Learned a load of tips, many thanks! I have the same mark Golf, just a bit newer and a petrol variant but everything is basically in the same location.. :-)
Really good video my friend thanks a lot. I did all the service myself it all wen´t smooth. I´m now wondering how to reset the Maintenance alert. My Golf V is giving me the Alert inspection in 1000km. I did the oil a bit earlier but I didn´t reset anything. Do I need a VCDS ? Thanks
I need an information, if you know abt how to start 24 v ( dual batteries) jeep , when the batteries are dead. How we would jump start it by connecting wires frm other vehicle battery to this 24 v jeep ?????
Do you need to disconnect the battery or anything like that when changing the fuel filter. I have a mk2 diesel ford ka and the fuel filter is a sealed metal unit?
Awesome mate thanks for letting me know how to service my own car. 1 thing I noticed was u didn't jack the car up or put it on ramps or is there a reason or it's not Necessary. If u reply that will be great. Thxs
Nice video little bit misleading calling this a service. You haven’t done any of the 200 safety checks that would be done on a service. Volkswagen’s most basic service is called a lube service and even that includes basic safety checks like tyres and brakes. Enjoying your vids tho.
zzz engine oil man. For example when you have a dark blue colour car, first you need to add colouring to change the new oil into dark blue. Guess what it even increases HP by +25 if u get the colour right.

What a nice gentleman you are, it's good to see someone with passion in what they do. I'm a newly trained technician and you're the kind of boss I would really like to work for.
Even though my car brand is different ,, i love this video & your demonstration & total inspection , servicing was totally superb ...
very comprehensive and exactly what I call a "service", minor checks are done all the time and major ones are checked MOT time. Ignore the haters and thanks for doing this.
Top tip; open the fillercap on top of the engine, the oil will get out faster.
Nico Gailliaert that is a true fact it also works when u are change ur colet
I always take the dipstick out too,so when I am putting new oil in, it can displace air from the sump
Just remember to put the stick in a position that you cannot forget it & make sure that it's pushed home fully on refitting it.

Good Job my friend. a very uesful video. it helped me do service to my car myself & saved me a lot of money

also this was a diesel, so spark plugs need to be changed on a petrol. Great video though, very thorough and precise
Excellent, I have that exact car - very useful thanks!
Brilliant brilliant video. Given me confidence to go do myself now ty!

London Speed Diaries . What driver bit did you use for the fuel filter?
Very good video with handy tips. One tip I have is when you pull the oil filter out take it away to the bench or somewhere else because you left it on top of the engine and made a mess I seen the oil dripping down in around the engine. Just an idea.

Gread video! Looks like even I could do this! Problem is I cannot locate all this stuff under my hood! :(
Excellent job.
Good stuff mate, Liked and subbed.
You can no doubt find a diagram on the internet that labels where everything is under your specific car, that will make it a lot simpler.
Thanks for posting this up, I just have a question, while you make it look easy, on a scale of
1-10, (10 being hardest) for someone with only basic knowledge of cars how easy would it be to give your car a major service ? i.e perhaps more comprehensive then what you have shown here. Also, in labour time, how much time do you think something like this should take ? I am looking at really learning the ins and outs.
can you do a video on a full service on a MK5 jetta / MK5 rabbit?
Thanks mate .. Very well explained
You're a god bro
I learnt a lot today
Thanks a million for the help ✌🙏 God bless u
Great stuff!!!!! Subbed
Hi Mick I would appreciate if you show how the vehicle is scanned which is also part of servicing.
So i don't feel okay taking my car to the mechanic knowing that i can fix and service it myself. Well i'm not a mechanic but i can say i'm a car guy. I don't want anyone else to work on my car unless it's something i can't fix my self. I have an 08 mkv gt sport 1.4 tsi golf and i would like to know how often i should service it, how often i should change each filter and fluid. I recently got it and i changed the oil only as my mech told me oil filter wasn't necessary. Should i just go ahead and change everything or wait for the service mileage to come? Really helpful video and definitely gets you into the whole spirit of service of a car! Nice work.
thank you very much mate!
Nice one 👌🏽
Would you recommend an oil flush?
A lot of cars have their fuel filters in the tank as a part of the pump assembly.
Fantastic vid! Learned a load of tips, many thanks! I have the same mark Golf, just a bit newer and a petrol variant but everything is basically in the same location.. :-)
Really good video my friend thanks a lot. I did all the service myself it all wen´t smooth. I´m now wondering how to reset the Maintenance alert. My Golf V is giving me the Alert inspection in 1000km. I did the oil a bit earlier but I didn´t reset anything. Do I need a VCDS ? Thanks
very nice video..i like it very much..
Can you show how to bleed the brakes on your own. Thanks mk2 diesel ford ka would be good thanks :-)
Very good video.
extremely useful
very helpful
Petrol cars? A 1.3 or a 1.6 corolla or passat :)
Really nice video.
that dip-stick is very different from mine...i also have a mark5 (2006)
Thank you
Great video
Just a quick question, is the oil filter going to be different on a diesel compared to petrol? Just want to know what I should expect
With the fuel filter, don’t you need to bleed the system to avoid air in the high pressure side?
good...
Tks mate
Very nice
Nice video
Haha ive been servicing my cars for years and I have never thought to do a pollen filter.
Is £300 too much for a full service + MOT? Feel like I got ripped off.
Sounds OK - they tend to be roughly £150 each where I am (south coast)
Great video. Would it be the same for the gti 1.8t 2003?
arent you suppose to put abit of oil round the o ring?
I need an information, if you know abt how to start 24 v ( dual batteries) jeep , when the batteries are dead. How we would jump start it by connecting wires frm other vehicle battery to this 24 v jeep ?????
Do you need to disconnect the battery or anything like that when changing the fuel filter. I have a mk2 diesel ford ka and the fuel filter is a sealed metal unit?
Brilliant! Thank you! :))
How often should u get your car serviced?
can you do video on vw mk4?
I wish I stumbled on this video about 5 years ago
Awesome mate thanks for letting me know how to service my own car. 1 thing I noticed was u didn't jack the car up or put it on ramps or is there a reason or it's not Necessary. If u reply that will be great. Thxs
your very helpful ! a person can't always afford to go to a garage !
You have to keep the car flat so all the oil can run through the drain plug
How many liters of oil it takes thanks
Can you service a mazda 3 2004
Nice video little bit misleading calling this a service.
You haven’t done any of the 200 safety checks that would be done on a service.
Volkswagen’s most basic service is called a lube service and even that includes basic safety checks like tyres and brakes.

very good ,,,:)))
awesome u are
For golf mk5 1.4 16v

Over 100 depends on where you go and on the car you have
Hello Mick.
How do I service a 1993 Ford Fiesta. It's a dark blue colour.
Thank you in advance Mick.
I really don't think that you needed to add in the colour of your vehicle
Nickolas St.germain
haha
Nickolas St.germain
Huh dark blue colour has to be mentioned coz the service varies with the colour of the car.
Oh yeah that's right, you always need to let them know so they put the right head light fluid in.
zzz engine oil man. For example when you have a dark blue colour car, first you need to add colouring to change the new oil into dark blue. Guess what it even increases HP by +25 if u get the colour right.
What kind of garage does not have a torque wrench ?
Calm your farm darling
I don't work in a garage yet I own 3 torque wrenches,if a diyer can own 3 why can a so called "pro"
Vern Pal
Your hormones misfiring there buddy?
200 safety checks or 200 ways to get more money from you?
U did not check spark plugs and throttle body.
AP KR no spark plugs on diesels
EGR and turbo as well.
Sound lad
Pollen filter? I think i don't have it in my car..🤔
not necessarily some cars don't have pollen filters, mainly older cars without A.C
00:19 he looks like Sacha Baron Cohen lol
i have a aladin news for you
