What is the first maintenance mileage for the Lavida car?

The first maintenance for the Lavida car is required at either six months or 5,000 kilometers. Below are the preparations you should make before the first maintenance: 1. It is advisable to call the 4S store for an appointment before going for the first maintenance. Due to the increasing number of vehicles, service workshops in 4S stores are often crowded, and without an appointment, you may have to wait for a long time. 2. Always bring the maintenance manual and the vehicle's registration certificate when going for maintenance. Although the 4S store may perform the (free) maintenance without the manual, keeping a proper record in the maintenance manual is crucial for future maintenance rights and other matters. 3. Before going for maintenance, carefully recall any faults or questions you have encountered while driving and note them down to inform the staff during the first maintenance, which will help them conduct relevant checks. 4. Generally, maintenance is required every 5,000 kilometers, but some models may require maintenance every 7,500 or 10,000 kilometers. Vehicle maintenance does not necessarily have to be done exactly at the specified mileage. If you haven't reached the maintenance mileage but are about to go on a long trip and will exceed the mileage significantly upon return, you can opt for early maintenance or choose to have it done at a 4S store in another city.

When I bought my new Lavida, the salesperson told me that the first maintenance should be done at around 5,000 kilometers. I made a special note of the mileage and scheduled an appointment with the 4S dealership when I reached 4,900 km. The maintenance was quite comprehensive—they changed the engine oil and filters, and also checked the brake pads and tire pressure. The technician explained that during the break-in period, the new engine generates debris, and if not cleaned in time, it can wear out the components. So, it's crucial not to delay the first maintenance; it's best to schedule it in advance to avoid affecting the warranty. In terms of cost, the first maintenance for a new car is usually free, but I recommend making a phone appointment beforehand to avoid long queues. Driving habits also play a role—if you frequently drive on bumpy roads, it might be better to do it even earlier. In short, follow the manual's recommendations to ensure your car stays healthy and safe.

I remember my friend bought a Lavida, and he completed his first maintenance at 5,000 kilometers. Based on my experience, Volkswagen recommends the first maintenance within 5,000 kilometers or six months, mainly to change the engine oil and oil filter, and clean out initial metal particles. This is particularly crucial for engine protection because new cars generate fine wear particles during operation. Missing the deadline may lead to future issues, such as increased fuel consumption or warranty invalidation. I suggest new car owners pay attention to the odometer and schedule an appointment in advance when approaching 5,000 kilometers. Additionally, driving habits also matter—if you frequently drive on highways or carry heavy loads, it’s safer to perform maintenance a bit earlier. Post-maintenance can enhance performance and extend the vehicle’s lifespan.

I've driven the Lavida, and the first maintenance is usually done at around 5,000 kilometers. The manual will specify the exact number, so it's advisable not to miss this point. When you take it to the dealership, the technician will perform some simple checks and change the oil. During daily driving, avoid stomping on the accelerator with a new car; just maintain smooth acceleration. Maintenance costs are generally not expensive, especially since many new cars come with free services.
