Looking after your car
Plan the maintenance your car needs
Service schedules
Choose the schedule with the vehicle in mind
A car used mainly on longer journeys and one making repeated short trips may need different maintenance discussions. Send the engine details, service reminders and invoices so we can check the applicable schedule. Timing-belt work and other scheduled replacements are considered where fitted and due.
- Oil and filters are selected for the engine fitted.
- Mention petrol or diesel, modifications and typical journeys.
- Dashboard resets and service records relate to the work completed.
DSG, S tronic and four-wheel drive
Separate units have separate maintenance needs
DSG and S tronic names cover different gearboxes; there is no single service procedure for every version. Haldex coupling work only applies to vehicles using that system. We identify the gearbox and AWD arrangement before agreeing the fluids, filters and scope.
- Bring invoices for earlier gearbox and AWD servicing.
- Tell us about shudder, delayed engagement or transmission warnings.
- An oil service does not diagnose or repair worn mechanical components.
