Why Regular Maintenance is Essential for Your Volkswagen

At Speedcraft VW, we know that your Volkswagen is more than just a car – it’s a reliable companion that keeps you moving forward. Just like your own health, maintaining your VW is the key to ensuring it lives a long and healthy life on the road.

The Importance of Preventative Maintenance

Your Volkswagen is a complex machine with numerous parts and fluids working together in harmony. When one component fails, it can put the entire system at risk. Over time, these parts and fluids will inevitably wear down or run out. This is where preventative maintenance comes in. By proactively maintaining each individual component and regularly replacing fluids, you can keep your VW running at its best.

Speedcraft VW’s Recommended Maintenance Schedule

While every Volkswagen engine is unique, some general maintenance guidelines apply across the board. Here at Speedcraft VW, we recommend the following routine maintenance:

  • Oil Changes: Every 7,500 – 10,000 miles
  • Air and Cabin Filters: Every 20,000 miles (or more frequently depending on driving conditions)
  • Fuel Filters: Every 20,000-30,000 miles
  • Brake Fluid: Every 30,000 miles or 3 years, whichever comes first
  • Coolant/Antifreeze: Every 40,000 miles or whenever a coolant part is replaced
  • Spark Plugs: Refer to your owner’s manual for your engine’s specific requirements
  • Timing Belts & Chains: Every 80,000-90,000 miles
