    Pollen Filter: every 2 years

    Haldex: Oil every 3 years, but that doesn't include cleaning the filter which frequently block much sooner than that. I would change haldex oil & clean filter every 2 years or 30,000 km whichever was sooner (or more frequently if you invoke AWD a lot)

    Air filter: every 45,000 km

    Spark Plugs: every 60,000 Km

    Fuel filter: every 60,000 km

    DSG fluid: every 60,000 km

    Note that if you drive less than 15,000 km a year many dealers will replace the distance due items well before they are actually needed as they bundle them in with the "60K" service (thus costing you money before it is required).
    Does that maintenance schedule mention whether that 60k DSG interval is for the 6 or new 7 speed box?

    DSG fluid: every 60,000 km was for the 7 speed DSG,

    DSG fluid & filter every 60,000 km is what's recommended for the 6 speed DSG

    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?
    I've got 190,000km on my tsi. When i was doing a 45km highway commute I did 15k /12m services and had the oil analysed twice with no negative readings.

    For the past 2 years I've done lots of short trips and stop/start traffic. The handbook defines this as "severe service" so now I do the service at 10k/12m.

    The most likely problem with longer service intervals is oil sludging. I've seen no indication that is happening.

    15k service intervals are what is recommended but it's entirely up to you
    My old mark 6 diesel was done every 15k its 10 years old with 170k on it with not 1 issue in that time and still in my family as my daughter's car
    It was driven normally
    My current 7.5 diesel is tuned and worked much harder so i get a oil and filter done every 7.5k it would probably be fine with 15k but its for my piece of mind

    Got the dealer to confirm that the 7 speed DQ381's DSG service is at 120,000 kms / 8 years.

    Looks like the service interval has been doubled from the DQ250 !

    That would be because it isn't being contaminated with clutch material.

    The design of each transmission is quite different therefore the service interval is different

    Wonder if the DQ380 has also been extended to 120,000 kms / 8 years. Placing a lot of faith in their product ...

    Ask yourself: "Is the DQ380 a dry clutch gearbox where the clutches are separate from the DSG fluid?"

    Not sure what you're asking ? 250/380/381 are all wet clutch DSGs.

    Indeed its still a wet clutch gearbox no way i would be stretching it to 120k

    Mine is under lots of extra pressure so i will stick with the 60k service
