Ensure your Volkswagen always runs at its best
Although many modern Volkswagens are able to operate with the minimum of maintenance, it’s important that regular checks are carried out to ensure that your vehicle runs at its best. This is especially so with older vehicles, where parts may be at a point where they need replacing to ensure safe operation.

Irrespective of the technology your Volkswagen is equipped with, there are certain checks that must be carried out between services to ensure the safety and reliability of your vehicle – these include tyres, fluids, lights and brakes. Whether you're planning a summer break, preparing for winter, or simply want the peace-of-mind that your vehicle will start first time, every time – it’s important that you check your Volkswagen is always in peak condition.

There are a number of simple checks that should be carried regularly:

• Engine oil and brake fluid
• Coolant, anti-freeze and screen wash
• Battery condition
• Wheels and tyres
• Braking system
• Operation and alignment of lights
• Windscreen wiper blade operation and condition

Your local dealer will be able to advise you about how to carry out the above checks. For more information, contact your local Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Service dealer.
