Ask your importer if the extended servicing interval (ESI) is avail‐ able for your country. Flexible service interval display (only vehicles with a flexible serv‐ ice) Calculation of service intervals:

♦ The service intervals on vehicles with a flexible service is cal‐ culated. Input values such as, distance travelled, fuel con‐ sumption, oil temperature and loading on diesel particulate filter are evaluated by the control unit. ♦ The result of the evaluation is a measure of the deterioration of the oil due to thermal load.

For vehicles with a flexible service but which are serviced ac‐ cording to fixed service intervals, the service interval display must be recoded to “non-flexible” ⇒ page 118 .

♦ Oil deterioration is the decisive factor in determining the dis‐ tance that can still be driven before the next service.

Fixed service interval display (only vehicles with a fixed service) Calculation of service intervals: ♦ The service interval for vehicles with a fixed service is calcu‐ lated in fixed service intervals. This means that the mileage or time values have been previously determined and specified by Volkswagen. ♦ For normal operating conditions achieving these service in‐ tervals is technically assured. Service type for service due ♦ On vehicles without text messages on the dash panel insert display, a due service is indicated by a gong sound when the ignition is switched on. A flashing “spanner symbol” also ap‐ pears for a few seconds.

Entries in service schedule

If a component is changed which has a change interval prescribed by the manufacturer, e.g. the toothed belt, the new change inter‐ val begins at the time the component is changed. •

Therefore it is very important, every time a component is changed, to document this in the service schedule.

•

This also applies to components which were changed before the regular change interval.

•

High percentage of cold

•

•

Regular long periods of idling (e.g. taxis)

•

•

Using diesel with a high sulphur content

•

Regular operation in areas with high levels of dust

Countries where diesel has a high sul‐ phur content

Only applies to diesel engines: in some countries, diesel fuel has a high sulphur content. The high sulphur content leads to exces‐ sive wear of cylinders and it considerably reduces the cleanliness of pistons. Therefore change engine oil every 7,500 km in coun‐ tries where the diesel has a high sulphur content.

Golf Cabriolet 2012 ➤ Maintenance - Edition 06.2015 Note ♦ When using genuine washer fluid ⇒ ETKA the spray jets,

washer fluid reservoirs and connecting hoses are prevented from freezing.

♦ In vehicles with fan jets, the reservoir must be filled with gen‐

uine washer fluid, as this fluid has a low viscosity at tempera‐ tures below freezing. Otherwise the complicated spray jet system can become blocked by the crystallised washer fluid, which affects the spray pattern of the spray jet. The genuine washer fluid ensures that the fan jets remain fully functional at low temperatures.

♦ Genuine washer fluid ⇒ ETKA can also be used in the sum‐

mer. The powerful cleanser easily removes wax and oil resi‐ due from the glass.

♦ Frost protection must be guaranteed to approx. -25°C (approx.

-35°C in countries with an arctic climate) in the windscreen wash/wipe system.

♦ The transportation mode is responsible for assuring the start‐

♦ Battery discharging is reduced by the transportation mode,

because electrical consumers are switched off.

♦ All vehicle functions which are not necessarily used during

vehicle transportation and require no-load voltage or battery capacity are switched off with the activated transportation mode, with regard to the service life of battery.

♦ These are especially all functions in the vehicle which can re‐

duce the battery capacity when being misused.

♦ Examples are radios, electronically operated flaps and attach‐
