Keep your Volkswagen road ready and give it a servicing every season. The maintenance department of the carmaker conducts a thorough check to ensure optimal performance. But after all, it is your very own Volkswagen and it deserves your special care.
So, let us discuss some tips to keep your Volkswagen ready for all months.
Battery: If you have faced any problem starting the car or rust has gathered on the plugs, let your service representative from Volkswagen Specialist know of it. It means your VW wagon requires a new battery.
Brakes: Any problems with brakes should be immediately dealt with. In case you get grinding or squealing noises while braking, report it as that means worn brake pads. Check whether the servicing includes washing corrosive salt that forms on your brake system.
Tyres: Snow tyres are good for winters but get back to all-season or summer tyres. You should have a tyre gauge to ensure recommended pressure for the tyres so that they last longer and proper gas mileage is maintained.
Alignment: Potholes and rough roads especially in winters affect your car’s alignment. Get a new alignment will increase the tyre life and suspension and keep you safe on the road.
Air Conditioning and Exhaust: Ask your dealer to check the cooling system along with anti-freeze and the temperature gauge.
Belts and Hoses: Check whether the hoses have developed cracks or for any loose connections.
Fluids: An old anti-freeze or a dysfunctional thermostat will increase gas mileage and lead to overheating only to get worse in the summer. Get the oil, battery, windshield washer and cooling system fluids.
Windshield Wiper: Wipers are those accessories that ought to be changed frequently for better visibility and with the rainy season ahead, make sure you get the correct size.
Lights: Finally, last but not the least; check the wagon’s headlights and those at the rear, brake and the interior.
The entire vehicle thus needs a thorough cleaning. Get it fully washed and proper vacuum cleaning will rid the interiors of all the clogged salt and sand of winter. Dust the floor mats and also vacuum the carpet as the dirt from it gives out bad smell. Just drive into your nearest VW Garage Middlesex anytime. It would take only 30 minutes for a complete scheduled maintenance.
