Low mileage - to service or not?

[fun meter]

My car is coming up to 1 year old, but only has ~6200 miles on it, has been topped up with oil. No major problems (apart from throttle problem once the other day -being checked thursday).
Im reluctant to get it serviced, because its still a bit off the 10,000 mile mark. Would I be affecting my warranty by extending out the period between servicing? Would end up getting it serviced towards end of summer anyway (around 9000 miles).

If it's on longlife you've got upto 2 years between services, so no issue there.

But considering you do low mileage, I would say it should be on T & D in which case it would be every 10k miles / or 12 months. If it was me I would get it done for peace of mind but you pays your money you takes your chance

It'll have long-life oil in it from the factory. You could choose to stick to long-life for the first one and then switch to annual, or you could stick to annual (if that's what it is already set to) - more for the whole car's well-being and not through need to change the oil.

It is a little cheaper per service to go annual, but overall cost of servicing will be a little more than longlife regime.

Longlife is for high milers - VW still expect to see your car for servicing nearly every 12 months, either on long-life because you do 15k+ miles per year, or on fixed interval where they know they'll see you every year, even though your mileage is low.

What is it on ? T&D or LL

dealer will switch to t&d if you ask them

I believe the car is set up on annual, but oil is the standard long life castrol edge.

Thanks for replies
