🔧 Maintenance

Service Intervals

Oil Change Interval:

Every 5,000-7,500 miles (8,000-12,000 km) or 6-12 months, depending on driving conditions and oil type used. Consult manual for specific recommendations based on oil quality (e.g., synthetic).

Timing Belt Replacement:

Critical for 1.8T and 2.0L engines. Typically every 60,000-100,000 miles (96,000-160,000 km) or 5-7 years. Failure can cause catastrophic engine damage. The VR6 uses a timing chain which generally has a longer service life but requires inspection.

Brake Fluid Flush:

Every 2 years or 24,000 miles (38,000 km)

Coolant Flush:

Every 2 years or 30,000 miles (48,000 km) using G12 coolant

Tdi Maintenance:

Specific intervals for fuel filter, air filter, and glow plug checks. The ALH TDI engine is robust but requires proper diesel maintenance.

Fluid Specifications

Engine Oil 1 8T 2 0:

SAE 5W-40 or 5W-30, meeting VW 502.00 specification (synthetic recommended).

Engine Oil Vr6:

SAE 5W-40 or 5W-30, meeting VW 502.00 specification (synthetic recommended).

Engine Oil Tdi:

SAE 5W-40, meeting VW 505.01 specification (specific for PD TDI engines, but ALH uses a different spec, consult manual for exact TDI oil).

Coolant:

G12 (pink) or G12+ (purple) ethylene glycol coolant, mixed 50/50 with distilled water.

Known Issues

Ignition Coils:

Coil-on-plug ignition systems can be prone to coil failure, leading to misfires. The manual will detail diagnostic procedures and replacement.

Pcv System:

The Positive Crankcase Ventilation (PCV) system can clog, leading to increased oil consumption, rough idle, and potential seal leaks. Manual covers inspection and cleaning/replacement.

Window Regulators:

Plastic components in power window regulators can break, causing windows to fall into the door. Detailed procedures for door panel removal and regulator replacement are included.

Tdi Specific:

Mass airflow sensor (MAF) issues, EGR valve clogging, and turbocharger wear are potential concerns with the ALH TDI engine, all addressed in the manual.

ABS Sensors:

Wheel speed sensors for the ABS system can fail, triggering ABS warning lights. Troubleshooting and replacement are covered.

📚 Vehicle History

Brand Heritage

Volkswagen History:

Volkswagen, meaning 'People's Car' in German, has a rich history dating back to the 1930s. Known for building durable, well-engineered vehicles with a distinctive European character.
