Can anybody help?
Hi Guys.
Had my T5 for close to a year, changed the oil and filter twice now, but what else should I be changing, checking? Oh I changed the coolant too.
Is there a diesel filter? or drain?
Gearbox, transfer oil change when?
Anything else important?
Please send how to links. I am competent, just not that T5 knowledgeable.
Thanks in advance.

Do you still have your service schedule booklet it will give you the items that should be changed at each interval . If not I can look them up for you .
Major service is due at 180,000km.
Engine oil and filter
Fuel filter
Air filter
Pollen filter
Auto trans oil and filter (if auto)
Haldex coupling oil (if 4Motion)
Manual transmission, bevel box (4Mo), and rear diff (4Mo) are supposedly filled for life, so change as you see fit.
I think the Gates couplings on the air con compressor and alternator are due at 180,000kms as well.

Cheers guys.
Is there a water drain on the diesel filter?
Gearbox is feeling a bit less flowy to change, is it oil change or do they get loose couplings?
Try changing the oil in the gearbox, and see how that goes.
No water drain on the filter. If you suspect water ingress, replace the filter. They're about $90.
