– Referring to vehicle data sticker ⇒ page 28 , check if vehi‐

QI6

Flexible service

Fixed service

QI1, QI2, QI3, QI4, QI7

In the past, the PR numbers QG0, QG1 and QG2 determined

the type of service.

With immediate effect, these PR numbers only denote whether

an engine oil level sensor is installed or not and no longer have

an influence on the oil change interval.

2.1.2

Flexible service

The flexible service enables long service intervals, depending

on individual driving style and the conditions under which the

vehicle is used.

Note

For the flexible service a special LongLife engine oil is required

⇒ page 8 .

Vehicles with production control number “QI6” are set up for

flexible service at the factory. This means that these vehicles

have a flexible service interval display and are fitted with the

following components:

♦ Flexible service interval display in dash panel insert

♦ Engine oil level sensor

♦ Brake pad wear indicator (if fitted)

For vehicles with flexible service the service interval is deter‐

mined by the control unit and is indicated on service interval

display (SID) ⇒ page 7 .

Therefore the service intervals are flexible.

2.1.3

Fixed service

For vehicles with a fixed service, fixed services are calculated.

This means that the mileage or time values are already set by

Volkswagen. For normal operating conditions achieving these

service intervals is technically assured.

Therefore the service intervals are fixed.

The fixed service applies for the following vehicles:

•

Vehicles that have not been delivered with extended serv‐

ice intervals (ESI) (PR numbers “QI1”, “QI2”, “QI3”, “QI4”,

“QI7”).

•

Vehicles for which extended service interval (ESI) was stop‐

ped.

Vehicles for which no LongLife engine oil was used.

These non-flexible service intervals apply to all types of service

including an engine oil change.

Introduction of extended servicing intervals (ESI)

Ask your importer if the extended servicing interval (ESI) is

available for your country.

Flexible service interval display (only vehicles with a flexible

service)

Calculation of service intervals:

♦ The service intervals on vehicles with a flexible service is

calculated. Input values such as, distance travelled, fuel con‐

sumption, oil temperature and loading on diesel particulate

filter are evaluated by the control unit.

♦ The result of the evaluation is a value for the deterioration of

the oil due to thermal loading.

♦ The oil deterioration is the deciding factor concerning the

distance that can still be driven to the next service.

Note

For vehicles with a flexible service but which are serviced ac‐

cording to fixed service intervals, the service interval display

must be recoded to “non-flexible” ⇒ page 160 .

Maintenance - Edition 10.2021

Fixed service interval display (only vehicles with a fixed service)

Calculation of service intervals:

♦ The service interval for vehicles with a fixed service is calcu‐

lated in fixed service intervals. This means that the mileage

or time values have been previously determined and speci‐

fied by Volkswagen.

♦ For normal operating conditions achieving these service in‐

tervals is technically assured.

Service type for service due

♦ On vehicles with text messages on dash panel insert, the

message “Service now” and a “spanner symbol” are dis‐

played.

The service information disappears after a few seconds or if

engine is running.

Service initial warning

If a service is due, “Service initial warning” appears on dash

panel insert display when ignition is switched on.

♦ On vehicles with text messages on dash panel insert display

the following appears: “Service in --- km or --- days”.

The service information disappears after a few seconds or if

engine is running.

♦ The service initial warning is displayed 20 days before the

next service is due.

♦ The remaining distance displayed is always rounded to the

nearest 100 km or the remaining time rounded to full days.

Retrieving service information from Infotainment system

The current service information can always be read with ignition

switched on, engine switched off and vehicle stationary.

– Switch on ignition.

– Switch on Infotainment system.

– Press Home function button.

– Press Vehicle function button.

– Press Setup function button.

– In the menu, scroll to the Service function button.

– Press Service function button.

The service information is displayed in Infotainment system.

2.2

Service tables up to model year ►2020

Note

♦ The service tables apply in general with differences depend‐

ing on the vehicle model and equipment level. There is no

relation between individual vehicles and identified vehicle

identification numbers.

♦ Vehicle-specific time and mileage dependent additional work

can only be found in the ⇒ maintenance tables.

Service tables as of model year 2021►

A new maintenance concept has been introduced as of model

year 2021►. Compared with the previous concept, the main

features are as follows:

♦ Deviating scopes of service no longer include extended ad‐

ditional inspections. These must now also be carried out

within the scope of every inspection.

♦ Deviating service intervals: inspection is now always due

after the same interval, meaning e.g. for PR-number QI4:

after 30,000 km or 2 years, whichever occurs first.

♦ Individual intervals of the additional work have been adapted

to the new inspection interval.
