How Long Does the First Maintenance for Volkswagen Take?
2 Answers
Volkswagen's first maintenance is due at six months or 5,000 kilometers, typically involving an oil change and filter replacement. Here's an introduction to the first maintenance: New Car First Maintenance Items: Replace engine oil and oil filter; inspect the operation of the braking system, such as the gap and wear of brake pads and discs; tighten bolts in various systems; inspect and adjust drive belts; inspect and adjust tire balance and alignment; check and top up various fluids; inspect the operation of components like lights, battery, and shock absorbers. Purpose of Car Maintenance: Car maintenance refers to the preventive work of regularly inspecting, cleaning, replenishing, lubricating, adjusting, or replacing certain parts of the car, also known as car servicing. The purpose of car maintenance is to keep the car clean, maintain normal technical conditions, eliminate potential hazards, prevent faults, slow down the deterioration process, and extend the service life.
From the perspective of a Volkswagen owner, I'd like to share some experience: The first maintenance for a Volkswagen car is typically required after driving 5,000 kilometers or when 6 months have passed since purchase, whichever comes first. I recommend not delaying it, as the first maintenance is complimentary. The 4S shop will replace the engine oil, inspect the filters and chassis details, helping to extend the car's lifespan. If you drive less, you can go by the time interval; if you drive more, follow the mileage. When making an appointment, it's best to clarify the schedule. I usually book on weekdays, and it takes about 40-60 minutes to complete, but on weekends, it might take longer, up to one or two hours due to more people. In short, timely maintenance can prevent future malfunctions, save you from repair troubles, and is very beneficial for the car's health.
