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.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. 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,

  • Essential Service vs Logbook Service

    Hello,

    Is anyone able to explain the difference between the essential service/ plus and a regular logbook service? I understand the essential services only cover oil, brake fluid and cabin filter however that is generally what most services cover unless it’s a major service. Will these services still come with a logbook stamp?

    Thanks

    Essential Service vs Logbook Service

    Can you post up a photo of where this information is written? Have you asked VW what the difference is?

    Im wondering if its a lease service vs a normal logbook service. With lease servicing, they generally do the bare minimum (with my experience anyway after working at a Holden dealership about 20yrs ago).

      Dobby33, you are correct. Volkswagen has introduced the 4Plus Care Plans and come with x2 Essential Service and x2 Essential Service Plus (Pollen Filter & Brake Fluid) services. All the info is on their website.
      All comes with a log book stamp.
      Remembering this is for vehicles that are already 4 years old, any "Major" service items that you wish to maintain over the coming years would be over and above and at your expense.
      For example (and not limited to the following), DSG Service, Haldex Service, Diesel Fuel Filter, Engine Air Filter, Spark Plugs etc.

      Basically and oil and filter change and a scan. All with Genuine items and a log book stamp.
