Initial 10K Miles

When you hit the 10,000-mile mark, your Volkswagen vehicle will need its key systems inspected and maintained. Listed below are the services that should be performed after the initial 10,000 miles:

• Oil and oil filter replacement
• Tire rotation
• Airbag system inspection
• AdBlue fluid check
• Wiper blade inspection
• Headlight cleaning system inspection

20K, 60K, & 100K Miles

What happens when you hit the 20,000, 60,000, or 100,000-mile interval? You should complete all of the 10,000-mile services, in addition to what is listed below:

• Fuel filter replacement
• Dust and pollen filter replacement
