How Long Does the First Maintenance for Volkswagen Take?
2 Answers
According to the maintenance manual and schedule for SAIC Volkswagen models, the first maintenance should be performed within 3 months from the date of purchase (based on the purchase invoice) or when the vehicle reaches 5,000 kilometers in mileage, whichever comes first. Here is some information about car maintenance: 1. Definition of car maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the vehicle, also known as vehicle servicing. 2. Scope of car maintenance: Modern car maintenance mainly includes the engine system, transmission system, air conditioning system, cooling system, fuel system, power steering system, etc. 3. Purpose of car maintenance: The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the vehicle clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards to prevent failures, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.
When I first bought my Volkswagen, I was most concerned about the first service time. It is generally recommended to have the first maintenance done after driving about 5,000 kilometers or six months, mainly changing the oil, checking the filters and brake system. My last maintenance took less than an hour to complete, and the 4S shop service was quite fast. But the actual interval depends on the manual's regulations. For example, if you drive long distances frequently, you may need to do it a bit earlier. Remember, the first maintenance is crucial. Timely maintenance after the running-in period of a new car can extend the engine's life and prevent minor issues from accumulating. I always remind my friends not to overlook this milestone to avoid affecting the warranty. Regular checks can keep the car healthier.
