Take Passat as an example. The manufacturer suggested 65,438+00,000 km maintenance, but the 4S shop required 5000 km maintenance. He will say many reasons, such as bad road conditions, traffic congestion, and the need for early maintenance of new cars, just to let our car owners enter the 4S shop for maintenance. At this time, most of them are struggling. If you spend so much money on a car, you can't take good care of it. Should I maintain it according to the instructions, or should I accept the advice of the 4S shop?
Who should I trust?
At this time, new drivers often believe in 4S stores, while old drivers have their own ideas. According to the old driver's car experience, Bian Xiao will give you an analysis. The instruction manual is provided by the manufacturer and is the most direct maintenance basis. Shanghai Volkswagen's maintenance requirement for Passat (parameter | picture) is 65,438 438+ 10/00000 kilometers, so we can advance the maintenance to 8,000 kilometers according to the actual situation such as road conditions, without the need for routine maintenance of 5,000 kilometers as mentioned by 4S shop. Maybe 4S stores will be a little unhappy, but once the car has problems, they have no reason to refuse compensation.
Which models can be maintained in advance?
Car condition is not ideal:
Some models will burn engine oil, which can appropriately shorten the maintenance cycle of models. Some German cars have serious fuel consumption, so you can maintain them in advance or bring your own oil, and replenish them when you are short of oil. Here, Xiang Xiao said a few more words. If the car's oil consumption is serious or other reasons lead to premature maintenance, it is normal to do it twice at a time. However, if this happens for a long time, you need to let the 4S shop inspect the car and find out the reason for this situation for a long time. The claim should be repaired and replaced.
New car maintenance:
Do maintenance two or three times before the new car, and you can advance it appropriately. Because during the running-in period, the iron filings of the machinery in the car will flow into the engine oil, so it is good for the car to maintain it in advance. After the running-in period, you can carry out maintenance according to the maintenance cycle of the manual, such as air filter, spark plug, air conditioning filter element and machine filter, and replace it according to the recommended kilometers given in the manual.
There are many models with a maintenance interval of 5000 kilometers, such as Mondeo, Langdong and Costa. Don't worry about the model that is required to be maintained once every 5000 kilometers in the manual, just follow the instructions. It can be hundreds of kilometers ahead of schedule or hundreds of kilometers behind schedule, which will not affect the health of vehicles.
