Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    I created the thread regarding the fact I did not receive a car wash as promised. I did not create this thread to debate whether or not the 1000km service is required.

    I am very pleased to hear though that I received this extra service free and it is not a standard service provided by all Volkswagen detailers. Thumbs up Austral!
    Sorry mate, did you mean AUSTRAL at NEWSTEAD or NORRIS MOTOR GROUP at KEDRON.
    Dont want to be directing praise to the wrong dealer.

      The first service is at 15,000km but it's recommended by VW to do the oil change at 7500km (although this is on the R32). Which I just did today with the dealer although it's not free. I think changing your oil after the first few thousand kms is a good idea since the engine running in will have more shards and deposits in its oil from the pistons bedding in and whatnot so changing the oil will give it a fresh film of lubrication.

        It's not recommend by VW to change the oil at 7500km for any MK6. Again, this thread is not about that - please take that dicussion to one of the other 500 threads on that topic

        I'm editing the name of this thread to be more descriptive about what this is about.
