Volkswagen service
Service Intervals.
Volkswagen are pleased to offer you a choice on how your
new Golf GTD is serviced. The appropriate selection is entirely
dependent on how the car is likely to be driven and its general
use. To help you identify which type of service would be most
suitable, please refer to the following guide.
The Time and Distance Service is recommended for vehicles
that will cover less than 10,000 miles in 12 months and if the
vehicle is likely to be used in the following way:
•
Predominantly urban driving, short journeys with
frequent cold starts.
•
Activities regularly producing high engine loading,
e.g. frequent hill climbs, driving with vehicle fully
loaded and towing.
•
Uneconomical driving style using high rpms with
heavy acceleration and heavy braking.
The service intervals for the Time and Distance Service are
as follows:
•
Oil change service
Every 10,000 miles/1 year (whichever is soonest).
•
Interval service
Every 20,000 miles/2 years (whichever is soonest).
•
Inspection service
Every 40,000 miles/3 years (whichever is soonest).
The LongLife Service is recommended for vehicles with
a daily mileage of more than 25 miles where the vehicle is
driven regularly mainly on longer distance journeys. The
vehicle is driven mainly at a constant speed with minimum
vehicle and engine loading, minimal towing and driven in
an economical manner.
With the LongLife Service the vehicle can cover anywhere
between 10,000
†
and a maximum of 18,000
†
miles or 24 months
(whichever is soonest) between oil changes. Inspection service
is typically in the third year of ownership and thereafter every
second year, for vehicles with an approximate annual mileage
of 10,000 miles.
† Please note that mileages are approximate as the service
indicator system uses kilometres as the distance measurement.
Please consult your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer
for advice and full details.
The Volkswagen Warranty.
Three-year Warranty.
All Volkswagen new Golf GTDs come with a three-year/60,000
miles warranty, which protects your car against the failure of most
mechanical and electrical components due to manufacturing
defects. This comprises a two-year manufacturer’s warranty
with unlimited mileage plus a further one-year/60,000 miles
(whichever is soonest) Retailer Warranty. Should the mileage
exceed 60,000 miles within the first two years, the manufacturer’s
two-year warranty will still be valid. If an additional warranty
for subsequent years or higher mileage is desired, it may be
purchased from an authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer;
however, this additional warranty must be purchased before the
mileage reaches 60,000*. Full details of the three-year warranty
are available from your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer.
