What is the best mileage for the first maintenance of Volkswagen cars?
2 Answers
According to different car models, manufacturers will specify different maintenance intervals, generally around 3,000 or 5,000 kilometers. Below are the relevant details: 1. The first maintenance usually involves changing the engine oil and oil filter. It includes checking the engine's working condition, such as whether all pipe connections are normal, if there are any leakage points, whether the engine sounds normal, and if there are any abnormal noises. 2. Inspect the wear level of brake pads and tires, and after lifting the vehicle, check if there are any deformations or damages to the chassis caused by collisions. 3. The purpose of changing the engine oil is to ensure better lubrication for the engine, as the lubricating effect of the oil deteriorates over time, necessitating replacement.
I've been driving a Volkswagen for several years, and it's best to get the first service done around 7,500 kilometers. Volkswagen engines are quite sturdy, but during the break-in period, metal particles may accumulate in the oil. Early maintenance can remove these impurities and prevent wear on components. My first car was a Volkswagen, and I delayed the first service until 10,000 kilometers, which resulted in increased engine noise and some oil consumption later on. I recommend going to the 4S dealership between 7,000 and 8,000 kilometers, and also getting the brakes and tires checked. Daily driving habits also matter—if you frequently drive on highways or often encounter traffic jams, it's safer to do it earlier, around 6,000 kilometers. Don’t forget to check the owner’s manual, as there might be slight differences between models like the Passat or Golf. The first service is usually free, so don’t miss the opportunity to maintain your car—safety comes first.
