Service interval change to15.000

[zore89]

Hello guys

I need one help, i have service interval on 30.000km  but i would like to have 15.000 becouse i am doing service in 15.000km.

 

How can i change that? I also have VCDS if there is any option for adaption in VCDS?

 

thank you and best regards

If you want to go for 15k oil change interval, then just go there and request oil change service and remember to request non long life oil. So they will fix you into 15k interval for next oil change. For notes non long life is cheaper so no need to fill up with long life and then go change it in 15k.

 

This is what I have done.

 

/Edit

Forgot to mention - first drive the 15k, then go to oil service :-D

Easy, you simply change the coding in "instruments" to "poor quality oil".

 

Or even easier than that, reset the service reminder on the DIS, this will automatically set it to fixed rather than longlife.

Thanks guys, i managed to reset it to 15.000km just by resseting it on the button on instrument cluster.

& you keep using the correct spec oil for the TDI which will be Long Life even when doing fixed servicing.

There is no changing to 'low quality oil'.

 

(Long life oil and long oil change intervals can mean short engine life, but the Long Life stuff is OK for fixed servicing.)

if your vehicle has a DPF you need to keep using VW 507.00 spec oil

I've seen some bad reviews of the Castrol LL, looks like at 100 degrees celsius it wears elements much more than other oils.

Can anyone advise if Shell LL is better? 

I'm changing at 15k km, no matter ECU gave me 10k more to travel with it.

For notes on my 1.8 TSI they used Castrol before, but started using Mobil 5W30 at some point. I can't remember exactly what it was, but I can look it up - I kept the receipt.

Re Long Life oil. 

Dont worry about using Castrol / Quantum long life oil in your diesel engines,  Just be aware of maybe not using it for long service intervals.

 

Castrol Long Life Oil 5w 30 Full Synthetic Long Life Oil (VW504 00) and Variable / Long Service & important Long Filter change intervals can be the Spawn of the devil 

with 1.2, 1.4, 1.8 & 2.0 TSI's,  and it will not be a surprise if also with 1.0TSI's.

(Just a personal opinion obviously and the 2nd biggest car manufacturer in the world will differ in opinion, but then they are self confessed lying barstewards.)
