1500 Mile Check
« on: 28 March 2014, 07:48 »
Morning All
Where any of you advised that your car needed returning to the dealers for a 1500 mile check up ??
It is free supposedly but this seems a bit of a throwback to the old days  :huh:
Anyone had it and know what's done ??

I might struggle to get it back to the dealer at 1500 miles as I'm exporting it to Cyprus 1 day after collecting, which is very very soon!!!!

Don't they have any VW dealers in Cyprus? Genuine question by the way.

For 7 VWs bought from new, I have never heard of taking the car back for a 1500 mile check.

They do - hopefully I'll be back soon enough for the 1st annual service though, not a clue how having a Cypriot VW dealer stamp in there will affect resale value in the future lol!

When I bought my mk6 in 2012 they asked me to bring it in for a 1500 mile check.  I never bothered, by the time I remembered I'd already done more than double that.

I have asked about this and was told first service is 10K.

I tried to explain to the 'dolly bird' receptionist about how some high performance engines need a running in service but she was having none of it.

But the engines in the Golf GTI / R arent exactly high-performance or special hand-built engines to warrant a 1500 mile Oil change / service.  :whistle:
I could understand it, if the VAQ diff needed a 1500 mile oil change though like BMW M cars do but they don't as far as I am aware. :smiley:
