Title: Going over 10,000 miles before service.
Post by: Mr Savage on 05 October 2014, 09:35

Hello guys,

As we all know on the service plan you're meant to get the car serviced at 10,000 miles or 1 year old, whichever comes first.

VW couldn't get my car booked in until 2 weeks away and so I might be at around 10100 miles.

Do you think VW would be funny with this and claim I haven't followed the service schedule? I know what they can be like.

I don't think this would cause any issues - I would  still consider it to be within the servicing time window.  Mine was about 300 miles over because I needed a courtesy car.  Didn't think anything of it.

You get 1,000 miles either way so don't worry. Mine was serviced at 10,100 miles with no issues.

If VW couldn't get your car booked in then it won't be a problem for you. If on the other hand you just didn't bother trying to book a service then they might say something.

I took my car in for its first service after 11200 miles and 11 months...no problem at all.

Savage, relax pal. I worried about the same issue when I was in your position a few years ago with my new Mk6 GiT.
Trust me, relax. I also took the 3 year service plan and now the extended MOT and service plan but they are relaxed with miles etc. From my experience, they will meet your needs as and when you bring it in............as long as you dont take the mick i.e. 6 months or 6k miles after the scheduled visit !
