Volkswagen Servicing

Volkswagen is a line of cars that have been around for 80 years. The Volkswagen Beetle or” Bug” was an icon in the 1960s and is still being produced. VW is considered one of the most reliable and affordable cars on the market and considered second-to-none in customer satisfaction and loyalty. In German, Volkswagen means the “people’s car”. Customers who choose Volkswagen for their choice in vehicles rarely go back to any other brand.

If you take good care of your VW, it will last for many years and accumulate many miles along the way. If you are familiar with the TDI engines, you know how hardy these cars are. There are so many Volkswagens still on the road today and running just as well as when they were brand new. Today, Volkswagen still builds on its incredible reputation and very reputable history.

Volkswagen Models

Not only is Volkswagen one of the most diverse cars in the industry, but there is a make and model that fits everyone’s taste. From limos to city cars, to full-size SUVs, pickup trucks, and don’t forget the Beetle! Two of the most popular models are the Polo and the Golf. The Golf goes without any needed introduction. If you look outside, you will see dozens of them still on the road.

The Polo is just one step below the Golf and is the smallest hatchback for small families and people who want an economical, practical car for city life. On the other hand, if you want something even more compact, you should look into the Up! This is the smallest car that VW makes, it’s the cheapest and most economical car for transport today. It’s got plenty of allure and incredible visual appeal if you choose the UP1 GTI version.

The Passat is a full-size saloon that rose in popularity after the old Phaeton was discontinued from the line. At one time, the Phaeton sat above the Passat as favor grew around the new Arteon.

The SUVs are one of the most versatile cars from VW, coming in all shapes and sizes starting with the smallest T-Cross and T-Roc. Both are built on the same foundation as the T-Cross and T-Roc which offer a more practical motoring experience with a much higher seating position and much better ground clearance.

The Tiguan is a compact crossover that comes in just below the Touareg which is Volkswagen’s full-size SUV with real off-roading performance. If you are someone who needs more space but not in the market for an SUV, you might want to look into The Touran and Sharan. Both of these models are perfect for those who want more room with room to spare!

The models we have mentioned are built using Volkswagen’s MQB modular platform which means they are all sharing a lot of the same components. This allows for production costs to stay down and the cost to the consumers is a lot less. Because the parts are interchangeable, they will last longer and remain dependable.

Engines vary enormously between the models but are readily available in a variety of ranges with bigger, heavier models getting the more powerful variations of each. This also allows for parts to be easily serviced and much more affordable.

Volkswagen Servicing

Unlike other vehicles, you will not run into a lot of issues with Volkswagen. For instance, Diesel engines always have issues particularly with diesel particulate filters (DPF) as they start to get older but that’s the nature of the diesel. Keep in mind, cars that are equipped with automatic gearboxes need regular servicing to keep them running smoothly and remain healthy, especially the modern DSG variants.

If you stay up with maintenance, you will have years of easy motoring. All maintenance should be performed by experienced technicians especially dealing with complex fundamental work including changing the cambelt and the water pump. Unless you know your way around the inside of your engine, it’s advisable you take your Volkswagen to the experts to get the work done properly.
