New Caddy Owner

Post by ThisIsStapes »

New to Caddys, not new to VW.

Originally got the caddy for a commuter / run around whilst I got my Mk3 Golf back in shape. But I just can’t help myself and can’t leave the Caddy alone.

I got a 2008 2.0 SDI, literally a week ago, first up I want to just give it a good thorough service. Not that it necessarily needs it, more for my peace of mind.

A few things:

1) What’s the best oil
2) What’s the best coolant
3) Any tips on replacing the fuel filter, as I know they can be a bit finicky if you don’t prime it after installing a new filter
4) Cam belt done around 40k ago it seems
5) A bit of wobble on the clutch peddle, does this indicate some issue with the dual mass flywheel
6) Anything else I should be looking out for

Apologies if this isn’t the place.

Many thanks for any help.
