Just had a chat to West Yorkshire Van centre as the dash on my 2009 California has indicated service in 2000 miles. I spoke to a nice chap called Chris who tells me the van has been set to request service via time and distance as 10K or every 12 months. He says this is fine, though it is more usual to set to 15K - 18K or every 2 years.
This Cali was last serviced by VW at 36069 in July 16 and is now showing 37,400 so am thinking I may use my cousins Snap On diagnostic machine to remove the service light and change the setting to remind in 15K or 14 months.
I gather there are two schedules as Interval (minor £145 plus) and Inspection (major £295 plus)
All sound about right to you folks?
Any thoughts on virtue of dropping the oil and doing the filter more frequently at home anyway as I have the facilities to do that. Unnecessary? The Van has been dry stored and only done 1K miles since last service, though it was a while ago (July 16)
Thanks in advance!
