When is the first maintenance for Volkswagen cars?
2 Answers
Volkswagen cars require their first maintenance within 3 months from the date of purchase or when the mileage reaches 5,000 kilometers, whichever comes first. The first maintenance of a car refers to the initial servicing after purchasing a new vehicle, and it is generally free of charge. It is recommended that car owners do not miss the first maintenance, as new cars are in a break-in period where mechanical parts are wearing in, and the demand for lubricating oil is relatively high. Therefore, it is advisable to perform the first maintenance according to the time specified in the maintenance manual. In addition to changing the engine oil and oil filter, a comprehensive inspection of the vehicle will be conducted during the first maintenance. It is important to remember to bring the maintenance manual for the first maintenance. The Volkswagen Sagitar is a joint venture A+ class sedan brand under FAW-Volkswagen, with dimensions of 4753mm in length, 1800mm in width, and 1462mm in height, and a wheelbase of 2731mm.
I remember when I first bought my Volkswagen, the manual stated that the first service should be done within 12 months of purchase or when the mileage reaches around 15,000 kilometers, depending on the model and year. My Golf had its first service a year later, where the dealership performed routine items like oil and oil filter changes, and also checked the brake system and tires. Delaying maintenance carries significant risks, such as engine damage from degraded oil, or potential oil leaks and stalling if left unchecked for too long. Getting the first service done on time not only maintains the car but also keeps the warranty valid, avoiding costly major repairs down the line. In short, checking your manual or calling the dealer for confirmation is the most reliable approach.
