The new Golf GTI
The Volkswagen Warranty.
Three-year Warranty.
All Volkswagen new Golf GTIs come with a three-year/60,000 miles warranty, which protects your car against the failure of most
mechanical and electrical components due to manufacturing defects. This comprises a two-year manufacturer’s warranty with
unlimited mileage plus a further one-year/60,000 miles (whichever is soonest) Retailer Warranty. Should the mileage exceed 60,000
miles within the first two years, the manufacturer’s two-year warranty will still be valid. If an additional warranty for subsequent years
or higher mileage is desired, it may be purchased from an authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer; however, this additional warranty
must be purchased before the mileage reaches 60,000*. Full details of the three-year warranty are available from your authorised
Volkswagen retailer or repairer.
* All warranty work must be completed by an authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer.
Three-year Paint Warranty.
The paintwork of the new Golf GTI is covered against manufacturing defects for a period of three years. Naturally, the new Golf GTI
must be cared for in compliance with the operating instructions which will be found in your vehicle handbook. Please consult your
authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer for full warranty details.
12-year Body Protection Warranty.
The internal body sections and panels of the new Golf GTI are covered against rusting through from the inside for 12 years. Naturally,
the new Golf GTI must be cared for in compliance with the operating instructions. Please consult your authorised Volkswagen retailer
or repairer for full warranty details.
Service Intervals.
Volkswagen are pleased to offer you a choice on how your new Golf GTI is serviced. The appropriate selection is entirely dependent on
how the car is likely to be driven and its general use. To help you identify which type of service would be most suitable, please refer to
the following guide.
The Time and Distance Service is recommended for vehicles that will cover less than 10,000 miles in 12 months and if the vehicle
is likely to be used in the following way:
• Predominantly urban driving, short journeys with frequent cold starts.
• Activities regularly producing high engine loading, e.g. frequent hill climbs, driving with vehicle fully loaded and towing.
• Uneconomical driving style using high rpms with heavy acceleration and heavy braking.
The service intervals for the Time and Distance Service are as follows:
• Oil change service
Every 10,000 miles/1 year (whichever is soonest).
• Interval service
Every 20,000 miles/2 years (whichever is soonest).
• Inspection service
Every 40,000 miles/3 years (whichever is soonest).
The LongLife Service is recommended for vehicles with a daily mileage of more than 25 miles where the vehicle is driven regularly
mainly on longer distance journeys. The vehicle is driven mainly at a constant speed with minimum vehicle and engine loading,
minimal towing and driven in an economical manner.
With the LongLife Service the vehicle can cover anywhere between 10,000
†
and a maximum of 18,000
†
miles or 24 months (whichever
is soonest) between oil changes. Inspection service is typically in the third year of ownership and thereafter every second year, for
vehicles with an approximate annual mileage of 10,000 miles.
† Please note that mileages are approximate as the service indicator system uses kilometres as the distance measurement.
Please consult your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer for advice and full details.
Approved Accessories.
A comprehensive range of accessories from alloy wheels to carpet mats is available to complement the factory-fitted option list.
Volkswagen approved accessories purchased from and fitted by your authorised Volkswagen retailer at the point of vehicle sale will
also benefit from the three-year vehicle warranty.
Extended Warranty.
You may purchase additional protection from your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer, or contact 0870 9000 115.
