Service work
The following information from an authorised spe-
cialist garage or a Volkswagen Partner is documen-
ted in the Digital Service Plan:
— When the service work was carried out.
— If any repair was recommended, e.g. brake lining
replacement.
— If there were any special maintenance require-
ments.
The specialist garage records these requirements
in the job.
— Which components and operating fluids have
been replaced.
— When the next service is due.
The Longlife Mobility Guarantee, that is available on
some markets, only applies until the next service.
Documentation is produced for each inspection.
The type and extent of the service work may differ
for individual vehicles. Ask any authorised specialist
garage about the specific activities for a given car.
WARNING
Risk of an accident or getting stuck in traffic!
·
Observe regular service intervals.
·
Have the service work carried out by an author-
ised specialist garage.
NOTICE
Volkswagen assumes no responsibility for damage
to the car from insufficient servicing or faulty parts.
Regular service work carried on your car not
only keeps its value but also helps to improve
its operating reliability and traffic safety. Therefore
have the service work done according to the Volks-
wagen regulations.
Volkswagen recommends using a Volkswagen
Service Partner.
Fixed or variable service
Service events are divided into oil change service
and inspection. The service interval indicator on the
instrument cluster display is a reminder of the next
service date.
Depending on the car equipment, engine type and
operating conditions a fixed service interval or vari-
able service interval is used.
Ask an authorised specialist garage for information
on your car service type. Volkswagen therefore rec-
ommends a Volkswagen Partner.
With a variable service interval the required oil
change service is only carried out when your car
needs it. Individual traffic conditions and driving
style are taken into account when determining the
date. Using the Longlife engine oil instead of stand-
ard engine oil is an integral part of the variable serv-
ice interval. Please observe the information on the
VW engine oil specification » page 102.
If you prefer not to have the variable service interval
opt for the fixed service interval. However, the fixed
service interval can affect the service costs. Ask for
details at your specialist service.
Depending on the vehicle equipment, service inspec-
tion dates for your vehicle can be displayed in the
service interval indicator on the instrument cluster
display. The service interval indicator provides infor-
mation about the dates of service inspections that
involve engine oil change or service inspection.
When the date of a service arrives any additional
work, such as changing the brake fluid or spark plugs
can be carried out.
Information on operating conditions
The specified service intervals are based on standard
operating conditions. Under adverse operating con-
ditions, some work must be carried out before the
next service date or between the specified service
intervals.
Adverse operating conditions include:
— Fuel with a high sulphur content
— Frequent short trips
— Long idling like a taxi
— Driving in areas with high dust
— Frequent driving with a trailer
— Frequent driving in stop-and-go traffic, such as
urban traffic
— Driving predominantly in winter
This applies particularly to the following compo-
nents (according to the vehicle equipment)
— Active combined filter
— Air filter
— Timing belt
— Diesel particulate filter
— Engine oil
The specialist garage will tell you if any work needs
to be carried out between the standard service in-
tervals according to the operating conditions of your
car.
Service operations
The service work also includes inspections and
maintenance needed for operational reliability and
