Well it's every 3 years in the schedule - my dealer changed my DSG oil at year 3 by mistake when I had actually asked for the VAQ diff to be done - they looked very red faced when I pointed this out and they agreed it should have been done so they did it the next day.

Mine was done at 13k miles first time along with DSG and at 29k 3 years later.

From my experience main dealers are good at telling you what you want to hear on the diff servicing, "yes it's been done" as part of a warranty repair suggested to me that it had not been touched, beware...

Eventually found out that the diff oil was changed at 3 years and again at 4 (I don't think they had a clue about S/H) Good for me though. I picked the car up today and absolutely love it; almost my perfect car. Dealer were hopeless with S/H queries. I've just discovered invoices in the glove box showing that the latest service was done by an independent. It is recorded on the VW system somehow and they have given me an Approved VW warranty. I'm surprised that they sell Approved used without VW S/H
