Oil service message when shutting off car
- Thread starter KlipZ
- Start date
so if it is a year old i still need to get the oil changed as it has just sat? I didn't expect my "new" car to be a year old and now im going to have to pay for an oil change after having it for 3 weeks..
The manual states, 10,000 miles or 1 year. So if you want to adhere to the maintenance schedule, you will need to have it serviced. Maybe contact the dealership you purchased it from and they'll handle the oil service for free.
But yes, if the build date is one year ago (roughly), then the fluids inside have been sitting for that long. If the build date is much newer, it could be something else.

*most dealers would.
I sadly purchased my car through at a VW dealer where a distant friend of my step-dad works (this would be the third car my family has bought from him.) When i got home with it i found there was a small scratch on one of the edges of the passenger door. After about a week i submitted the dealer survey (all 10/10) and in the comment section just said "hey i found a small scratch, new cars shouldn't have scratches. Can you please give me a call so we can discuss what can be done to resolve this?" well long story short the guy ends up calling my step-dad bitchin' at him that im ungrateful, blah blah blah.
Long story short, its been 2 weeks now and the freakin guy STILL hasn't contacted me, even after i've left him 2 voicemails on his work extension. My parents called me last night and said they saw the guy at a local festival and he kind of just avoided them.. This is why i'm worried about the oil change with this dealer.. that being said, i'm giving it 2 more weeks before i call Volkswagen of America and file a complaint with them and with the BBB as well as destroy their social media and yelp pages. I bought a 35k and i should get treated as such. I got better treatment when i bought my 13k used Mazda 3 when i was 18.

Just go to a different dealer
well for the oil change i think anywhere will do it as i have the maintenance package, however the paint scratches probably will cost me..

Have you tried a light buff and polish with rubbing compound? The day I bought my car the neighbors dog jumped and put his paws on my drivers side door. I was pissed but the scratches buffed out so Ralph (the dog) and I are still friends ha

Sucks. Id still try again but honestly a touch up could look worse. I'm super picky aboutmy car but it's a daily driver. I've learned to just live with the few paint chips mines got already for that reason. If it's small and won't buff out it might not be worth having it messed with
