Service already?

<< < (2/2)

Bumpity. Car rocketed from 200 miles left to "Service NOW!".

How quickly must I get it serviced? It's about the right time for T&D servicing but it's a bit difficult with exams at the mo.

How much leeway do I have? Could I get it serviced in Feb?

i have heard of LL cars needing servicing after 7000 miles, the car could have been driven quite quickly before you got it  :evilgrin: , or your driving style and conditions now means it needs servicing more often, mine was on LL by accident but i put it on t&d myself, tbh its was going to be cheaper on t&d, if i was you i would take it to the dealer for the t&d and leave it on t&d, the first service was only £100, your first LL will be alot more

I could be wrong but I believe the requirement is within 30 days or 1000 miles of the warning "service now" to preserve the warranty status.

IMHO I would just get it done ASAP  :happy2:

As the last two posts say, I'd swithch to T&D and get it in for a first service asap  :happy2:

VW UK keep a record of servicing and can play "mean" later on with warranty issues if you are late with any of your servicing.

My service warning came on around 9300miles. When i bought the car i paid for the service pack. Booked the car in and took it down to service and the dealer said the service pack hadnt been put on :fighting:. I went mad and spoke to the salesman who sold the car to me and rminded him that was part of the deal and he sorted it all out for me. Trouble is i have just gone over 1k miles after the service light came on as it has taken 2 weeks for them to sort it and reschedule my appoinment.
Car is i tommorow so i want omething in writing that the car shouldnt have any warranty problems due to it being their fault.

Ps. My car is running LL oil
