I've changed the oil and filters regularly. The only problem I've had was the battery. After 6.5 yrs, the water had evaporated. All I had to do was top it up, and now it's starts just like new. The only other maintenence was a tune up at 55k miles. I can't speak for your golf, but I haven't had any problems with mine. Spencer |
