Servicing Tiguan - Discounts/deals

[Ricardo]

Thanks guys for the tips. Is the cost of servicing a diesel any different to a petrol engine? Also how much does it cost for the first service. I heard it was at 15000km and someone posted on the internet that it cost them $620 does that sound right? Does the diesel particulate filter require any servicing or replacement?

There should be not much differnce between servicing diesel or petrol engines, since both should use the same engine oil. The DPF doesn't need any extra servicing however if you use your car for short trips and drive ubrouptly it could have shortened life. Manual says check particle loading at 160,000km (for Touareg) (it could be 120,000km in Tiguan). You drive long distances, therefore I asume that you won't have to replace DPF before 200,000km

$620 for 15,000km service is not right.
