Servicing not on time. Does it void the VW Warranty?

[rave75]

its not a matter of if the engine has been damaged by doing 25k between a change, its a matter of how much its been damaged by it!!

He was doing 17k between service though, not 25k. Well if 2k over 15k is considered major, then OP shouldn't get the car

Most VW vehicles use oil to a greater or lesser extent between services so when did he top up? Did he wait until the oil pressure light came on?

Some owners only when the rattle from engine gets really loud and some when the red engine oil light is on all the time.
Some have only less than 1L in the sump when drained.

I know of a Jeep Grand Cherokee a few years ago that got it’s first service when the vehicle was traded-in At 80,000km. The oil had been topped-up by the owner a few times but that’s all. It was bad - real bad. Wholesaled out, but some poor punter out there got a real problem.

A friend of mine had 2012 Jetta 118TSI she has done 3 services and done 140,000km when she traded it in on Subaru Impreza. The engine run like a charm the DSG needed major work, hence why she traded the car in.

My Landcruiser had been a Govt car and first service in the book was at 21000km.

I was really worried about it about that but in the 130,000 km I did in it it never used any oil, so I guess some are lucky and some are not
