Service tables
The following chapter contains the well-known service tables with
the service specifications of the Volkswagen brand. Since, in the
past, individual service specifications were set up in various
markets, mostly through severe operating conditions, these are
listed in service tables with specific deviations.
Service tables → Chapter
Service tables with market-specific deviations → Chapter

Note

For combined kilometre and time display applies: whichever
occurs first.

Depending on conditions under which the vehicle is used
→ Chapter and vehicle equipment, extra service work must be
performed in addition to the interval service, inspection service
or interval service inspection.

It is also possible, to perform additional work outside the
service intervals with regard to the entries in the service
schedule (or sticker: your next service).

Service intervals

Caution
Only applies to diesel engines:
 In some countries the sulphur content in diesel fuel
exceeds 2000 ppm.
 The high sulphur content leads to excessive wear of
cylinders and it considerably reduces the cleanliness
of pistons.

Therefore, in countries with elevated sulphur content in
diesel fuel, change engine oil and fuel filter every 7,500
km.

Your importer will inform you about countries with
elevated sulphur content in diesel fuel.

Note

For extremely uneconomical driving style or use under extreme conditions → Chapter, the shortest interval
for an oil change service or interval service is “15,000 km or 1 year”.

However, other intervals apply for other countries. Your importer will inform you about this.

1)A new engine oil filter must be installed at every engine oil change.
2)Only applies to diesel engines: In some countries the sulphur content in diesel fuel exceeds 2000 ppm. The
high sulphur content leads to excessive wear of cylinders and it considerably reduces the cleanliness of
pistons. Therefore, in countries with elevated sulphur content in diesel fuel, change engine oil and fuel filter
every 7,500 km. Your importer will inform you about countries with elevated sulphur content in diesel fuel.
Toothed belt change intervals
 If the engine is fitted with toothed belt or timing chain can be found in the engine list.

Note
The camshaft drive with timing chain is maintenance-free!
