Can Volkswagens get engine sludge?

Yes, regular oil changes really ARE important! If you’re driving around with old motor oil, the broken-down fluid (and resulting debris) isn’t protecting your engine parts. In fact, it may even be causing slow damage to your Volkswagen Passat’s engine! Routine oil changes may seem like an insignificant maintenance task, but trust us – your future self will thank you.

Do I need to follow Volkswagen's recommended maintenance schedule?

Use your manufacturer-recommended maintenance schedule to help prevent costly repairs later. Take care of your car, and it’ll take care of you. Follow the maintenance schedule written by Volkswagen to keep your car in its best possible condition. After all, the cheapest kind of repair is one that never has to happen!

What should I tell the technician when I bring my Volkswagen to the shop?

When you bring your Volkswagen Passat in for a repair service, give your technician as much information as possible. What's your driving style? What type of conditions do you drive in? Do you haul heavy loads? When and what was the last service you had if it was at a different repair shop? This information can help them make an informed diagnosis.
