2 Answers
Below is the time for the first maintenance of Volkswagen: 1. The first maintenance for Volkswagen is due at six months or 5,000 kilometers, usually involving oil and filter changes. 2. In addition to replacing parts, the first maintenance also includes a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle. When going for the first maintenance, remember to bring the maintenance manual. The first maintenance refers to the initial service performed on a new car after purchase. 3. The first maintenance is crucial because the new car is in the running-in phase, where mechanical parts are breaking in, requiring higher lubrication needs. 4. The period before the first maintenance is called the running-in period. During this time, since the gears of the engine, transmission, etc., are not fully run-in smoothly, it is generally advised not to drive too fast.
I remember taking my Volkswagen for its first service, and the whole process felt super quick—done in about one or two hours. It's usually recommended to get it done within 6 months of purchase or after driving 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers. I delayed a bit, but by booking an appointment at the 4S store in advance, I saved time on waiting. They mainly changed the oil, checked the tires and brake system, and also looked into an engine noise issue I had. Maintaining a car is like taking care of your health—doing it on time extends the car's lifespan, saving both money and hassle. Don’t overlook small details during each service, like noting down the date to avoid forgetting and delaying the next one. In short, as a car owner, sticking to the service schedule makes driving smoother and more reliable.
