Title: Servicing schedule?
Post by: SunnyGTI on 26 April 2015, 22:26

Hi guys

Tried a search but couldn't find this.

Does anyone have a rough list of when services are due please?

The dash is saying 3,500 miles or approx 260 days to next service.

How can I find out what is required in terms of servicing?

Is it by years (I.e. In year 1 you require X, in year 5 you require C) or is it mileage (40k you require X, 60k you require X)

Thanks!

Algerbra!!!! is it not in the service record in your handbook pack. I get mine done every 10k. Currently at 36k and last service oil and filter, brakes all round brae fluid change. At 40k think it's due for a recharge of the AC. But in answer to the question i usually look at the service book and there is a check list that the mechanic ticks. The Seat FR i had had longlife servicing...i'm not a lover of that!

As said your service record should be in with the handbook.

The service intervals will be determined by what type of service schedule the car is on, which is determined by the annual mileage and type of journeys done.  So either Time and Distance service which is every 10k miles or 12 months, whichever is the sooner, or, Longlife  Service, which can be up to 24mths/18k mikes year.

If it's DSG, then DSG oil change every 40k miles.

This might help?  http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/owners/servicing/areas-we-cover-and-why
