🔧 Maintenance
Service Intervals
Oil Change Interval:
Typically 5,000-10,000 miles (8,000-16,000 km) or 12 months, depending on driving conditions and oil specification. Check manual for specific intervals.
Timing Belt Replacement:
For non-TFSI engines (1.8T, 3.0 V6), typically every 70,000-90,000 miles (110,000-145,000 km). TFSI engines use a timing chain.
API SN/SP, ACEA C3, SAE 5W-40 or 0W-30 (depending on specific engine and climate). Refer to owner's manual for precise specification, often VW 502 00 or VW 504 00.
Coolant Specification:
G12+/G12++ (Pink/Red) or G13 (Purple). Audi/VW approved coolant.
Transmission Fluid Manual:
GL-4 or GL-5 rated gear oil, SAE 75W-90 is common. Verify specific part numbers.
Transmission Fluid Automatic:
G 052 162 A2 or equivalent ATF fluid. Critical to use the correct type. Refer to manual for precise specification.
Known Issues
Common Wear Items:
Ignition coils, PCV valve (especially on 2.0 TFSI), front control arms and bushings, power steering hoses, water pump, cam tensioners (on 3.0 V6).
Oil Consumption:
Some 2.0 TFSI engines can experience higher-than-normal oil consumption due to piston ring design.
Timing Chain Rattle:
On the 3.0 V6, cam chain tensioners can fail, leading to rattling noises.
