Frequently Asked Questions
VW Servicing & Repair FAQs
Why is the EPC light on in my Volkswagen?
The EPC light means your VW has spotted a fault that can affect engine power. If the car feels sluggish, avoid long journeys and book in for VW fault finding.
How often does a DSG gearbox need servicing?
It depends on the type of gearbox, as some need regular oil changes and others don't. Call us with your registration and we'll tell you what your VW needs.
Why is my Volkswagen losing coolant?
A coolant level that keeps dropping usually means there's a leak. Don't ignore it, as overheating can damage the engine. Book in and we'll find the leak and fix it.
