Service intervals

Hello
Not sure what service schedule my R is on ,I only picked the car up 2 days ago from new.

It tells you in the service booklet and you can get the time and Distance to the next service on the MFD under the vehicle status menu.

There are basically 2 service regimes available.

1. Time & Distance - 10k miles or 12 months whichever occurs first.
2. longlife regime - variable up to maximum of 19k miles / 24 months.

Cars service timer uses kilometres converted to miles so is based on 15.000km and 30,000km which converts to 9,300 miles and 18,600 miles.

Brake fluid is 3 years and then every 2 years thereafter.

Cambelt is 120k miles or 5 years whichever occurs first.

Hello
I have not got a service book with my car the dealer says it is now digital anybody else had this.Thanks.

I was aware they had went digital with some models but didn't realise they had with new Sciroccos. I thought they would still give you a booklet to advise of service schedules as without it you really are reliant on the dealers, which in my experience is not a good thing, as the majority are clueless.

Sorry to jump in here but if I'm taking a scirocco on a 2 year lease would it be better for me to setup a longlife servicing plan?

The cars are set up for longlife regime from the factory. As long as the lease company don't stipulate annual servicing, then I would say leave it on longlife regime.

I should add that if you you buy a 2 year service plan from VW / Dealer it will be based on Time and Distance and should include 2 services, 10k / 12mth and 20k / 24mth

As with most things VAG make it more complicated than it needs to be
