Volkswagen service for your peace of mind.
The Volkswagen Warranty.
Three-year Warranty.
All Volkswagen new Golf R32s come with a three-year/60,000 miles warranty,
which protects your car against the failure of most mechanical and electrical
components due to manufacturing defects. This comprises a two-year
manufacturer’s warranty with unlimited mileage plus a further
one-year/60,000 miles (whichever is soonest) Retailer Warranty. Should the
mileage exceed 60,000 miles within the first two years, the manufacturer’s
two-year warranty will still be valid. If an additional warranty for subsequent
years or higher mileage is desired, it may be purchased from an authorised
Volkswagen retailer or repairer; however, this additional warranty must be
purchased before the mileage reaches 60,000. Full details of the three-year
warranty are available from your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer.
Three-year Paint Warranty.
The paintwork of the new Golf R32 is covered against manufacturing defects
for a period of three years. Naturally, the new Golf R32 must be cared for
in compliance with the operating instructions which will be found in your
vehicle handbook. Please consult your authorised Volkswagen retailer or
repairer for full warranty details.
12-year Body Protection Warranty.
The internal body sections and panels of the new Golf R32 are covered against
rusting through from the inside for 12 years. Naturally, the new Golf R32 must
be cared for in compliance with the operating instructions. Please consult
your authorised Volkswagen retailer or repairer for full warranty details.
Service Intervals.
Volkswagen are pleased to offer you a choice on how your new Golf R32 is
serviced. The appropriate selection is entirely dependent on how the car
is likely to be driven and its general use. To help you identify which type
of service would be most suitable, please refer to the following guide.
The Time and Distance Service is recommended for vehicles that
will cover less than 10,000 miles in 12 months and if the vehicle is likely
to be used in the following way:
• Predominantly urban driving, short journeys with frequent cold starts.
• Activities regularly producing high engine loading, e.g. frequent hill climbs,
driving with vehicle fully loaded and towing.
• Uneconomical driving style using high rpms with heavy acceleration and
heavy braking.
The service intervals for the Time and Distance Service are as follows:
• Oil change service Every 10,000 miles/1 year (whichever is soonest).
• Interval service Every 20,000 miles/2 years (whichever is soonest).
• Interval service inspection Every 40,000 miles/4 years (whichever is soonest).
Service Intervals (continued).
The LongLife Service is recommended for vehicles with a daily mileage
of more than 25 miles where the vehicle is driven regularly mainly on longer
distance journeys. The vehicle is driven mainly at a constant speed with
minimum vehicle and engine loading, minimal towing and driven in an
economical manner.
With the LongLife Service the vehicle can cover anywhere between 10,000*
and a maximum of 20,000* miles or 24 months (whichever is soonest).
* Please note that mileages are approximate as the service indicator system
uses kilometres as the distance measurement. Please consult your authorised
Volkswagen retailer or repairer for advice and full details.
Approved Accessories.
A comprehensive range of accessories from alloy wheels to carpet mats
is available to complement the factory-fitted option list. Volkswagen
approved accessories purchased from and fitted by your authorised
Volkswagen retailer at the point of vehicle sale will also benefit from
the three-year vehicle warranty.

CO 2 Emission.
The weight of a vehicle will influence the level of CO 2 emission it produces;
as a result, vehicles with higher levels of specification and factory-fitted
options may emit higher levels of CO
2
.
The CO
2
figure quoted for each vehicle is the maximum possible.
The unladen weight of the vehicle is calculated by range at the time of
manufacture and the maximum possible CO 2 emission for that weight range
is applied according to the Council Directive 80/1268EEC as amended by
Commission Directive 1999/100/EC on the approximation of the laws of
the member states relating to the carbon dioxide emissions and the fuel
consumption of motor vehicles.
