On the first page of this thread I posted a lot of Arteon information such as road tests - I've now updated that post with a few new reviews, might be useful to anyone considering ordering one soon.

Unfortunately after the bargain 1.5 model leases I think they have bumped the prices up now.

There seem to be some cheap deals around again at the moment https://leasing.com/main-dealers/sytner-volkswagen...

Had my Pug 508 for a month or so & its behaving very well, commands a lot of attention on the road given its scarcity and it looks amazing in its poster Ultimate Red.

A couple of the new links I’ve posted on the first page of this thread are Arteon vs 508 road tests

I'm waiting on the specs for the SE 2.0 TDi Evo to be released as it may be BIK friendly.

I think that info is at the bottom of this article https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/volkswagen/arteon/10...

I’ve just had to change the front tyres on my Arteon, managed to get 30,000 miles out of them which I thought was good going. The rears are still going strong.

I’ve replaced them with identical Pirelli P-Zeros, 19” (R-Line), they were £100 each from Openeo, and £12 per tyre fitting, which is around £50 per tyre cheaper than I could find anywhere else.

Won’t get much wear out of them though, the car is going back in a month.

Has anyone taken out a maintenance package with their Arteon?

I've been offered the following, so currently doing some research to see if either are worth while.

1. Service and Maintenance £12.84 per month
2. Service, Maintenance and Tyres £33.20

This if for an R-Line 2.0 TSI on a 15k miles per year on a 2 year lease.

Cheers

I've had a single service on my Arton (2.0 TSi DSG), this came up at 19,000 miles and cost £195. (Car was set on long life servicing, make sure yours is)

If you are doing 15,000 a year, you should only need one service.

For tyres, I've has to replace the fronts, 19" P-Zeros were £112 each including fitting through Oponeo.

(due its 3rd service next month; likely to tell me its going to need front tyres!)

Are you still on original front tyres? If so that amazing!

Got 30000 out of my fronts, rears still have 5mm tread!

I started this thread just after I’d ordered an Arteon back in 2017, BCA have now collected it (no charges which was very reasonable as there were a few borderline things).

Did 31600 miles over 25 months (had an informal extension for a couple of months).

Gareth - glad you also had a great experience with the car and thanks for starting this thread! Whats the replacement car?

I've got a E-Class coupe for delivery next month, although it's been beset with delay after delay since ordering, so I'll believe it when I see it.

The configurator had said tri-zone climate, but it is only vents in the back with no temperature control.

I queried this with VW when I got my car - I had to order mine without being able to look at a car, as they had only just gone on sale. The brochure illustrated controls in the rear for temperature, but there was nothing there when I got mine.

VW said that the brochure is a guide only, and that the rear temperature can be set seperately to the front by the driver - which is true, but feels like it's missing the point of tri-zone climate.

Edit - see page 6 of this thread
