billyriaz Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Guys, I'm looking at some R32's this week and a quick question for you guys. Now the car I'm most interested has done 45k and has only 2 stamps in the book? I've been told that the R32's have a long life service which is every 20k? I used to have a V5 and that was every 10k so how does the 3.2 v6 require less maintenance? Now any other things I need to be looking out for? Are there any common faults that I should be looking out for? It is a 2003 03 plater - Are the Mk4 R32's all the same or did the later models get any updates? Any help would be so very much appreciated! Thanks Billy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yeatshome Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Mines a 03 plate MkIV 4DR I get the 20K extended service as i do a lot of motorway driving...mines at 61000. There are minor nigles as there is with any car but on the whole a solid car. I've done 20k since april with no troubles....it is booked in for a big service on Tuesday so I'll post any problems Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32Ash Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 Time/distance servicing lets you go upto 2 years between services, so it's quite possible for the car to have only had 2 services without anything being untoward. At the moment, he only thing that I can think of which changed with the later MKIVs was the addition of lumbar adjustment on the seats.

helfinger Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 i'm on my 2nd service book really depends on the owner i guess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32Ash Posted December 17, 2006 Report Share Posted December 17, 2006 [ QUOTE ] i'm on my 2nd service book really depends on the owner i guess [/ QUOTE ] Certainly does... I like the oil changed a lot more regularly than you can get away with according to the service intervals. If you follow the service regime to the letter though, you can go 2 years between services and still be following the recommendations of the manufacturer.

Mattchaps Posted December 18, 2006 Report Share Posted December 18, 2006 Had mine just over a month, had a fuse go which caused the speedo to stop! Make sure the ECU has the latest updates. Then enjoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wise_old_fart Posted December 20, 2006 Report Share Posted December 20, 2006 If you are going to kepp the car I would put it on to fixed servicing. Has the car had it's Haldex services? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
