Maintenance
Two schemes depending on the car: LongLife (flexible) service, where the indicator calculates the oil change from use, up to about 30,000 km or 2 years with VW 504 00 (petrol) or 507 00 (diesel) oil; or fixed service, with an oil change every 15,000 km or 1 year. Brake fluid: after 3 years the first time, then every 2 years.
