Volkswagen Summer Maintenance

The Importance of Regular Volkswagen Passat Oil Changes

For complete summer auto service, you should have all of the following tasks taken care of by your Volkswagen certified technician.

• Checkup of Your Engine: Having your engine checked is good to see if you need to replace any engine parts. Your engine oil, PCV valve, engine air filter, and several other engine components should be checked as part of spring maintenance.
• Coolant System Checkup: Hot temperatures outside and air conditioner use can put strain on your coolant system and increase the chances that your engine will overheat. That’s why a coolant system checkup is good as part of summer maintenance.
• Battery Testing: Both hot and cold temperature extremes stress your battery. Test your battery when you go in for summer maintenance. Make sure you replace your battery right away if your technician tells you that it’s recommended for you to do so.
• Inspecting Your Lights: If you drive more at night during the summer months, your headlights, taillights, and other lights may require bulb replacements. Have your lights inspected to check and see if it’s time for a bulb replacement.
• Inspecting Your Tires: Come to Bill Jacobs Volkswagen for a comprehensive inspection of your Volkswagen tires in the summer months. You might also want to have tire rotation service performed.
• A/C Service: Your A/C system is a particularly important component of your Volkswagen car, truck, or SUV in the summer months. That’s why you might need to have A/C service done in the summer.
