Your first service is at 15,000 kms. Some people, including myself, were offered a free check up at 1,000 kms but it wasnt a service just a check up.

when we bought our polo (jan 07) and our jetta (feb 0 we were advised by VW dealership to bring them back in at 7500 for an oil level check. were told to expect them to use some oil during the run in and then they should stop using it. They said that they can potentially run low on oil until you get it changed at the 15000k service.
Did it for our polo and will do it for the jetta in the next week or so.

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???

Paul you never know you might void your warranty

I got my oil changed at what ended up being around 8600kms. Just to be sure.

Topping up your oil will not viod your warranty...Unless you add athe wrong oil to it(75/w90 Gear Oil for example or after market thickener, but lets be realistic, nobody is that dumb...)
If you really look after your car, and we all do on this forum, you know to read your service book and see what oil you would need to add...In our case, 0/W40 Fully Synth.

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.
