Title: Golf R Service Schedule, info please
Post by: vidman2 on 02 August 2015, 16:26

Getting close to ordering an R but can not find out the servicing details.  Am looking to keep the car for 5 years and doing less than 10k a year so would like to know what is needed at yearly intervals inc DSG and Haldex. I know the GTi DSG oil change is every 40k with no time limit, is this the same for the R?.  I assume that minor and major services still alternate but what are the extras for the R?

Would appreciate it if anyone with an R has this info along with likely costs.

Thanks

The only difference to the normal Mk7 GTI schedule, I would think, would be changing the oil on the Haldex coupling ( every three years ).

I don't know the cost of that. 

Perhaps somebody on here can give you an idea of that cost..
