Fixed Service
Vehicles with fixed service are programmed with fixed service intervals. This means, these time and/or distance dependent service intervals are established by Volkswagen. Under ordinary operating conditions, this technically assures that the service will be performed when the interval is reached.
The service intervals therefore called fixed.
On vehicles,
- delivered without the service interval extension (PR numbers "QG0", "QG2", "QI1", "QI2", "QI3", "QI4" and "QI7".
- or where the maintenance interval extension was switched off
- or where LongLife engine oil is not used
have fixed Service.
The fixed service intervals apply to all maintenance services, which include an oil change.
