What materials are needed for Volkswagen's first maintenance?
1 Answers
The items required for the first maintenance include: driver's license; maintenance manual; warranty manual; owner's ID card; vehicle's registration certificate; vehicle's purchase invoice, to be taken to the designated first maintenance facility for the vehicle's initial service. Important note: Make an appointment with the 4S shop in advance. The first maintenance refers to the initial service after the new car has been driven, with the specific time varying by vehicle, generally after driving 3,000~5,000 kilometers or about half a year. The car needs to participate in the first maintenance in time, neither in advance nor delayed. The completion of the first maintenance marks the end of the car's break-in period, allowing it to be driven according to the standard load and normal speed required by the vehicle. The time for the first maintenance is calculated based on the vehicle pickup date. There are two indicator values for the first maintenance time: mileage and time. Whichever comes first is the standard. The first maintenance items include: changing the engine oil, oil filter, cleaning the air filter, checking various oil levels for normalcy, inspecting the generator belt and wiper blades for damage, checking tire pressure for normalcy, and inspecting tires for damage, bulging, etc. Required time: Completing all tasks takes approximately 2 hours. The most important aspect of the new car's first maintenance is changing the engine oil and oil filter. When changing the engine oil, the oil filter must also be replaced. The selection of engine oil must refer to the "Vehicle Usage and Maintenance Manual," as different vehicle models specify different engine oil grades. Maintenance precautions: Do not rinse the interior of the car body with water: Many people clean their cars during holidays, washing the body with water and scrubbing with a cloth. Here, it is important to remind that the interior of the car body should not be directly washed with water. If the floor mats are dirty, a vacuum cleaner can be used, or they can be taken out, brushed with detergent, dried, and then put back. There are many holes in the grooves under the rubber mats on the floor of the driver's compartment. Water entering these will not dry by wind but will flow through the holes to areas like the gearbox, causing erosion and corrosion. A better approach is to clean with a vacuum and then wipe with a cloth to prevent water accumulation. Do not mix different brands of antifreeze: When the car's antifreeze is low, it is recommended to drain the antifreeze and add the same brand from the start. Since antifreeze brands differ, their chemical functions vary greatly. Various functional additives can corrode others. Different brands of antifreeze use different additives. Do not mix them to avoid unnecessary trouble. Do not lubricate tire bolts and nuts: When the bolts on a moving car rust, oil is often applied to make them work again. To prevent rust on wheel bolts and nuts, some people apply lubricant, but this brings necessary risks to safe driving. At high speeds, bolts and nuts can be easily loosened or even fall off, leading to driving failures. When promoting an EFI car, there's no need to step on the accelerator: The promoter of an EFI car differs from ordinary cars, as its fuel injection control device can automatically adjust the fuel supply based on the promoter's temperature and working conditions, ensuring smooth promotion.
