When should the Polo undergo its first maintenance?
2 Answers
The Polo should undergo its first maintenance when it reaches 5,000 kilometers or six months, whichever comes first. The main tasks include changing the engine oil and oil filter. Before the first maintenance, it is essential to thoroughly check if there are any other faults or issues with the car and note them down. During the maintenance registration, inform the 4S shop about these items that need inspection. When going for the first maintenance, bring necessary documents such as the vehicle license, purchase invoice or a copy, and the maintenance manual. The Polo is a compact car under SAIC Volkswagen, equipped with a 1.5L engine. It comes with two transmission options: a 5-speed manual transmission and a 6-speed automatic manual transmission. The 1.5L engine delivers a maximum output power of 83 kW and a peak torque of 145 Nm.
I just bought a Volkswagen Polo, and the first service is due either 6 months after purchase or when the mileage reaches 5,000 to 7,500 kilometers, whichever comes first. I went to the dealership at 6,000 kilometers. They said the break-in period for a new car is crucial, and the engine needs checks on oil, filters, and fluid levels to prevent early wear. After completing the service on time, I noticed smoother acceleration, and they even changed the oil for free, saving money and giving peace of mind. I recommend checking the owner's manual or confirming with the dealer to avoid delays that could affect long-term performance. Also, keep an eye on the RPM and be extra cautious during the first few months of driving.
