Therefore the service intervals are flexible.
2.1.3
Fixed service
For vehicles with a fixed service, fixed services are calculated.
This means that the mileage or time values are already set by
Volkswagen. For normal operating conditions achieving these
service intervals is technically assured.
Therefore the service intervals are fixed.
For vehicles
♦ which were delivered without extended servicing intervals
(ESI) (PR numbers “QG0”, “QG2”, “QI1”, “QI2”, “QI3”, “QI4”,
“QI7”.
♦ or for which the extended servicing interval (ESI) was stopped
♦ or for which no LongLife engine oil was used
fixed service applies.
These non-flexible service intervals apply to all types of service
including an engine oil change.
Vehicles with PR number “QG0”
The vehicles are “not” factory-fitted with components for flexible
service. Fixed service intervals apply for maintenance.
Vehicles with PR number “QG2”
The PR number is valid only to ►2012.
For these vehicles the flexible service is not factory-activated.
Therefore, these vehicles have a fixed service interval display
and for maintenance the fixed service intervals (rigid
service intervals) apply. These vehicles are fitted with the follow‐
ing components:
♦ Fixed service interval display in dash panel insert
♦ Engine oil level sensor
♦ Brake pad wear indicator (if fitted)
Vehicles with PR number “QG3”
The PR number is valid only to ►2012.
For these vehicles the flexible service is not factory-activated.
Therefore, these vehicles have a fixed service interval display
and for maintenance the fixed service intervals apply.
These vehicles are fitted with the following components:
♦ Fixed service interval display in dash panel insert
♦ Brake pad wear indicator (if fitted)
