Sooooo, I completed the service earlier, one of the easy things on the golf lol. 
Got a few 'issues' that should be sorted though..
1. Outer CV boot split BUT its around the thin end and there's very little grease loss so doesn't need sorting urgently I'd assume.
2. Flexi fuel lines from filter to block have deteriorated and have little cracks like you'd expect on an old tyre.....these need relaxing obviously, so can I replace them with silicone ones to match boost hoses?
3. Split wishbone bushes. Now these were MOT advisories in October so have got worse since. BUT the wishbones different from 306 ones so not sure how much play to expect before these need replacing. I'm not even sure if vertical play is normal from the horizontal rear bush....:point: so looking for vids of knackered ones on YouTube atm lol....only found one so far. :?
