40K service checklist

[r11]

Oil, urea, fuel filter, cabin air filter, tire rotation . Anything else ?
Going to be first one I am going to do myself, now that VW's freebies are over.

What do dealerships charge for it - in labor ? Good source for parts ?

Here is the maintenance PDF from the TDI 101 forum. Very helpful.

Since you are 6MT that should be it...

 

[r11]

Having looked at the PDF, she looks like $500 service at the dealers. The list of checks goes on and on.

id drop the manual gear oil every 50k, but that's just me

 

[kydsid]

I'm coming up on ours too. Anyone got an idea what to use to lubricate the sunroof? Never had a sunroof before so I'm guessing some kind of silicone?

 

[lojeff10]

My dealership quoted me $530 for my 6m. I haven't been happy with them to begin with so there is no way I will go there for the 40k.

There is special sunroof grease/lube available. Not sure who sells it, but I'm sure a quick Internet search will return some results.

$530 ? Wow ...

40K has something like a dozen of checklists - that's why it is so labor intensive, IMO. "Check, examine, verify" etc etc.

The fluids/filters are no different from 20K service and so that's what I am going to do. Document stuff with receipts and may be a pic or two

 

[r11]

And while on subject of sun roof - do poke those drains, gently, with some sort of wire/weed whacker line, to make sure they wont clog on you.

Some folx swear by Aerospace 303 to keep rubber that is exposed to the sun, shiny & happy

One tube will last a long time.

Yeah I found it after you mentioned it. Thanks though for the info it will last. The price was a bit of a shock initially.

 

[VeeDubTDI]

Yeah the price is a shock but I think it is an important step to maintain the sunroof's slides and deals over time.

 

[kydsid]

Heck now I'm not so shocked. The maintenance schedule for the sunroof calls for part # G060172A3 to lubricate the sunroof seals. I haven't got a dealer quote yet (didn't bother), but google pointed me to that this is a kyrtox lubricant, and it's more than the rail grease. Got some at a GM dealer for a little more than the rail grease. I'll do a write up on it all when I get the parts delivered.


But I did get everything but the DSG and sunroof done today.


PS. I'd like to kick the guy who designed the oil filter and the clearance to get it out of the engine bay.

Found this on the PDF download: "Air filter element and snow filter: Replace and clean housing" called for every 60K...

Anyone have a visual aid that can show me where the snow filter is? Thanks!

 

[kydsid]

Snow filter is a piece of whit foam like material glued to the filter element side. Your car likely has one from factory as mine did even though it was delivered to Texas. Just pop the filter box and look at the filter. I replaced ours at 40k service due to dust conditions here. Interestingly enough I couldn't find a non snow filter equipped air filter for replacement.

I wonder if there is some kind of correlation between the 40k being a "big" service and it being the first "non-free" one.

(I for one would have preferred a longer warranty from the factory and pay for maintenance, if the price of the car were otherwise equivalent.)

 

[Trvln Canuk]

In Canada we don't get the free maintenance but do get a 4 year/80,000 km warranty instead.

What is the part number for the Mann oil filter for the 2013 Passat 2.0 TDI. I'm looking around and getting different numbers from different web sites.

Thanks!

(edit) is it this one?

http://www.amazon.com/MAHLE-Origina...r=2013|2013&carId=001&n=15684181&s=automotive

I can't find a Mann filter, only this MAHLE.

Looks the same as this Hamman:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DER6A1Y/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A39702CCOVJH2

Which, if you scroll down to the product description, says it's for a "2012 Diesel Passat." Is it? I don't know. We've still only got 4700 miles on our car, so I haven't actually bought one and changed it.

 

[IXLR8]

I just got back from having my 30K service done. I asked what the 40K was going to cost, I was told $490 for a 6MT, more for the DSG but I didn't ask as I have the MT.

 

[cjlangston]

just had my 40k done on my 2012 SEL w/DSG…dealer wanted to charge $1090 until I threatened to walk. Brought it down to $890 and I still feel unclean

 

[Rico567]

I'd find a good independent, if I didn't plan to do it myself.

 

[tdiot]

I just did the 40K service on my 6MT. ESP from Pep Boys for cheap with coupon. DEF from Walmart and filter pack from ID. Oil filter location absurd but still a very easy task. Less than one hour total.

Wow. I just called to schedule mine and was quoted $680.

 

[r11]

For the DIY types: idparts carries the whole service filter pack in one convenient package. Support one of our sponsors and save yourselves the guessing game.

Their price on LiquMoly is more than $10 cheaper than Amazons - and they won't charge tax for most of us, unlike the Amazon. JIC - they are in Mass.

 

[r11]

While saving ~$500+ by doing the service yourself is the driving factor for most of us, the other reason is to make sure it is all done properly.

If your friendly neighborhood mech decides to prime the fuel filter's clean side with unfiltered fuel, it is very likely your car will be toast. At the very least, make sure they understand that.

Do you know if there is maintenance PDF for the 2011 VW Golf TDi? I tried the search but couldn't find a match. Thanks.
