Oil service warning chimed up today. Im 6.5k miles in and the car is 14 months old.

Assume most people have had theirs done?
Might you be on short servicing rather than long?

Looking at my app mine will be just under 2 years before its due

It depends on your driving to whether you should be on short or long life. The dealers usually set them all to long life at PDI but it should be discussed with the customer. I have been down the rabbit hole on this topic with multiple dealers and VW to get the answer.

If your doing the motorway commutes to work longer distance driving then long life is fine.

If you do mainly short journeys, town driving and the odd a/b road drive it should be on shorter life and new oil every year

It’s not just about the amount of miles. Appalling form from VW on communication about this

Yeah its a strange one. Earliest date for the service is 28th Feb! I have the Arval service and tyre package so no issue from the cost side just seemed early. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi all, neglected this group quickly once I got the car:?-?).
One question, anyone else been stung for an additional £534 from Arval regarding the vehicle excise adjustment? Sems excessive to me, but I've tried to look into it and work it out but I'm obviously too thick. Got Arval on the case to give me the breakdown on how it's been calculated.

I have not heard anything from them - was it because you car was a little later? - or am I getting a letter/email soon frown

I have just logged into the portal and nothing showing in the documents about a letter

No idea - I'm really hoping they've cocked up...
