    Golf Servicing Schedule

    Does anyone know of a service schedule for the 90TSI Mk 7?
    I know the pricing info is available on VW's website but I want a list of what is actually meant to be done at each service.

    Also, what are the thoughts on VW's 15,000km service intervals? I would have thought that that is too long for any turbo engine. Is it just a way of them making the car more appealing? Or is it actually all that's needed?

    Engine oil and filter every 15K
    Air filter every 45K
    Spark plugs and fuel filter every 60K
    Cabin filter and brake fluid every 2 years.

    15K intervals are fine, as long as you're using the correct oil.

    So there's no official schedule from VW available? Not that I doubt what you've said is accurate, but it's not really a comprehensive list...

    As far as serviceable items, that's it.

    Everything else is inspect and report.

    So the coolant, gearbox oil, water pump, never need to be replaced?
    I guess my point is that I'm wondering if there is a service schedule that details all of those "inspect and report" things as well. I've had no trouble finding such a document with most other cars but can't seem to find anything for VW.

    The Volkswagen Passenger Vehicle Service Schedule can be found on their website (click here). You will receive a copy of this every time your vehicle is serviced at a Volkswagen dealer.

    The coolant, gearbox oil and water pump have no scheduled replacement intervals for your model.

    Despite this, most mechanics will recommend the coolant and water pump be replaced simultaneously with the timing belt.

    Note that the water pump for a 1.4 TSI in the Mk7 Golf is on the opposite side of the engine from the timing belt and is driven by a separate belt.

    Thanks for that link.

    Doesn't the 1.4 TSI use a timing chain? Or am I thinking of an older engine?

    The form is generic, one fits all passenger cars.

    The 1.4 TSI in the Mk6 Golf has a timing chain.

    The 1.4 TSI in the Mk7 Golf has a timing belt.

    Thanks for that clarification, I didn't know about that. Are there many other differences?
