2 Answers
Volkswagen Lavida's first maintenance for new cars is at 5,000 kilometers, with a maintenance cycle of 10,000 kilometers, and a whole vehicle warranty of 2 years or 60,000 kilometers. More information about Volkswagen Lavida car maintenance is as follows: 1. Regular routine maintenance and inspections are beneficial to the stability of the car's operation and can extend the car's service life. 2. The routine maintenance items for the Volkswagen Lavida are the replacement of the three filters and engine oil. The so-called three filters include the oil filter, air filter, and fuel filter, which function to filter impurities in the oil, air, and fuel, preventing them from entering the engine and affecting its normal operation. Regularly replacing these components can effectively extend the engine's service life.
I've been driving a Volkswagen Lavida and feel that the maintenance intervals should be more flexible. Generally, the manual suggests servicing every 10,000 to 15,000 kilometers or once a year, whichever comes first. Since I drive in the city for commuting and often face heavy traffic, the engine runs under high load frequently. So, I check the engine oil and filters every eight months to avoid any issues. If you drive more on highways, the interval can be slightly longer, but don't exceed the limit. I remember last time I delayed maintenance by a few months and ended up with noisy brakes, costing me several hundred more to fix. Beginners should get into the habit of setting a reminder on their phones—it's simple and hassle-free. In short, regular maintenance makes the car more durable and prevents minor issues from turning into major problems. I believe this should be based on your driving intensity.
