    hello no posted in a while. can any one tell me what interval the servicc should be? my golf gdt is saying it needs 1liter off oil .wgen i called to get it booked in she said motabilty car are only serviced every 2 years or 18000 miles.the cars done 10000 miles and will be a year old in march.

    It’s a quirk with VW Group cars. There are two different frequencies of servicing that can be selected when the car is configured as part of the pre-delivery inspection. Motability will only pay for the extended servicing option, yet cars are usually set up to alert for services on the more frequent servicing schedule. I have twice had wasted time with service bookings where the car was saying that it needed a service, I booked it in, yet on the day Motability wouldn’t authorise it. Just one of several reasons why I wasn’t sorry to move away from VW when we last changed!
