Title: Servicing
Post by: CMB on May 15, 2013, 03:30:30 pm

Could someone do me a favour and tell me the long life service schedule for a 2006 GTi. I don't know why but my service book is in german? Is that normal?

LongLife Service regimes
The LongLife Service regime is so called because there are no set service intervals and, depending on how you drive your vehicle, and the conditions of use, a service will be required anywhere between 9,000 miles or 12 months (whichever occurs first), up to a maximum of 20,000* miles or 24 months (whichever occurs first).

Personally I swap out oil every year or 10k.

Could the car be an import?  Or just a mixup with the German Service Book.
