VW Diagnosis and Maintenance
The VW Diagnosis and Maintenance Service has been devel-
oped to give each car “tailored maintenance”. In other words,
just the proper amount of service that each individual car needs.
The Diagnosis and Maintenance Record, which appears at the
end of this manual, shows you the mileage intervals at which
diagnosis and maintenance services should be performed to
keep your car in top driving condition.
Every Authorized Volkswagen Dealer at home or abroad will
perform all the operations listed for VW Diagnosis, VW Main-
tenance, and the additional services (such as oil changes,
lubrication, brake fluid renewal) in accordance with Volks-
wagen quality service standards.
Of course, you can obtain a VW Diagnosis at any time —
outside the regular schedule — at your Authorized VW Dealer.
Especially if you drive less than 6,000 miles a year, we recom-
mend you have a VW Diagnosis performed at least once a year.
If your Volkswagen is driven less than 18,000 miles in twelve
months, have the front end lubricated once a year.
The VW Diagnosis Test Report will show precisely what work
might be necessary in addition to the regular maintenance and
oil change services that your VW requires.
The first maintenance service at 600 miles is free of charge;
you only pay for the engine and transmission oil change. From
then on, every 6,000 miles your car will be tested through VW’s
unique diagnosis service system. You are entitled to free diag-
nosis services at 6,000, 12,000, 18,00 and 24,000 miles.
