first service

[VW Convert]

First service is 7500km, and it is not free... They said it is an inspection service, if i go back to where i bought it from, it is 80 bucks, if not, i think it is about 200 bucks.

Who told you that?

Read your owner's manual, first service is at 15,000KM. Dealer just wants to sell extra servicing and no doubt take the opportunity to upsell with "extras" like oil, filter etc.

I was being sarcastic, about some people here

Not trying to start the "void your warranty" debate again are you Steve?

Yeah, sorry about that...I though you were, but there are some people out there that think if they fart in the general direction of their new car that it voids the warranty.

You mean it doesn't?

ok thanks everyone for their input

so i should change the oil myself at around 7500kms?

Massive waste of time and money. If in the first 15,000km you find it is using more oil, whats wrong with topping it up yourself instead of going to the stealer to do it???

sorry... just to clarify this... i did NOT take it to the dealer to get it done... and certainly dont take my cars to a dealer for servicing either...

I wasn't aiming that at you, it was a general comment. I doubt many of us here use a dealer to service our cars, unless it's a company lease.

That question has been asked countless times on this forum and inevitably results in varying opinions and spirited debate. For normal use VW state an oil change interval of 15,000KM and with vast sums of money spent developing modern engines and modern oils, who am I to argue with them?

If VW tell me that the specified oil is good for 15,000KM under normal,operating conditions, that's good enough for me. Certain to provoke disagreement though!
