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.

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).

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.
