Golf Servicing Schedule

[846]

Does anyone know of a service schedule for the 90TSI Mk 7?
I know the pricing info is available on VW's website but I want a list of what is actually meant to be done at each service.

Also, what are the thoughts on VW's 15,000km service intervals? I would have thought that that is too long for any turbo engine. Is it just a way of them making the car more appealing? Or is it actually all that's needed?

Engine oil and filter every 15K
Air filter every 45K
Spark plugs and fuel filter every 60K
Cabin filter and brake fluid every 2 years.

15K intervals are fine, as long as you're using the correct oil.

So there's no official schedule from VW available? Not that I doubt what you've said is accurate, but it's not really a comprehensive list...

[Umai Naa!!]

As far as serviceable items, that's it.

Everything else is inspect and report.

So the coolant, gearbox oil, water pump, never need to be replaced?
I guess my point is that I'm wondering if there is a service schedule that details all of those "inspect and report" things as well. I've had no trouble finding such a document with most other cars but can't seem to find anything for VW.

The Volkswagen Passenger Vehicle Service Schedule can be found on their website (click here). You will receive a copy of this every time your vehicle is serviced at a Volkswagen dealer.

The coolant, gearbox oil and water pump have no scheduled replacement intervals for your model.

Despite this, most mechanics will recommend the coolant and water pump be replaced simultaneously with the timing belt.

Note that the water pump for a 1.4 TSI in the Mk7 Golf is on the opposite side of the engine from the timing belt and is driven by a separate belt.

Thanks for that link.

Doesn't the 1.4 TSI use a timing chain? Or am I thinking of an older engine?

The form is generic, one fits all passenger cars.

The 1.4 TSI in the Mk6 Golf has a timing chain.

The 1.4 TSI in the Mk7 Golf has a timing belt.

Thanks for that clarification, I didn't know about that. Are there many other differences?

The EA211 engine found in the Mk7 Golf (as well as other models within the VW group) is a complete redesign.

If you live in Sydney, then Tunehouse is a reputable workshop and do great works (servicing costs are reasonable)

OK I know this is an old thread but just to follow on... The car is now due for the 90,000km service. The VW schedule says "Toothed belt: Inspect belt at 90,000km" but then the next thing on the list is "Toothed belt: Renew toothed belt, tensioner and roller 7 years or 105,000km".
If the timing belt needs replacing at the next service, is it really necessary to inspect it at this service?

Inspect is probably a 2 minute job. You need to check for oil contamination, wear or damage. If it fails it needs to be changed ASAP.

Umai Naa!! and the other service guys, can you enlighten me as to what's involved for servicing the the 2018 mk7.5 Golf R ?

These are the 'set' prices I can see online on VW site but what I am trying to work out is gets done when ..

12 mth 15,000 etc - $452
24 mth 30,000 - $584 (brake fluid and pollen filter every 24 months)
36 mth 45,000 - $651 (haldex oil, air filter)
48 mth 60,000 - $821 (brake fluid and pollen filter every 24 months and spark plugs)
60 mth 75,000 - $386 (nothing out of the ordinary)

Does this look right ? Can you fill in the blanks for us ? Also why is the 12 month so exy ? I would have thought it's a normal service like the 60 mth which is only $386.

Also, at what point is the DSG serviced on the new DQ381 ?! Used to be 60,000 or 4 years on my old DQ250.
