What should I make sure I do if I am doing my own MK7 GTI maintenance?
If you have decided to maintain your own vehicle you should be sure to do a few things.
- Keep meticulous service records including mileage, date and proof of purchase of the parts. This is important because if you ever run into a warranty issue they may ask you for service records. Failing to produce these could result in a denial of a warranty claim.
- Make sure you are using oil that meets the required spec. As per the owners manual you can use 5w-30 or 5w-40 but the oil must meet the required Volkswagen Spec of "VW 502 00". All of our MK7 GTI maintenance kits include oil that meets or exceeds this spec.

Please note: The information we have listed above reflects the parts and or fluids that carry a recommended interval for replacement. It is always recomened to go over the vehicle thoroughly when servicing. VW has recommended intervals for inspecting items, like coolant levels/condition, axles, ball joints, hinges, lighting and many others. It is our estimation that these items should always be checked once a vehicle reaches higher mileage to ensure proper operation of your vehicle during every service.

None of the maintenance schedules I've found for the Mk7 GTI mentions flushing the coolant. Mine is ten years old but only 75k miles. Do you have any recommendation for a coolant flush?
Hey Dan, I was looking for the same here. This is what I found on-line:
The official Volkswagen maintenance schedule for the MK7 GTI does not specify a fixed interval for replacing the engine coolant, as it is considered a "lifetime" fluid. However, industry recommendations and expert opinions suggest that while the coolant may last for the vehicle's lifetime under ideal conditions, it is prudent to consider a flush every 2 to 3 years or 30,000 miles to prevent potential issues like corrosion or buildup in the cooling system. Some sources recommend flushing the coolant when the water pump or housing leaks, which is a common maintenance event. Although the manual does not mandate a change, checking the coolant's condition and dilution level every 15,000 miles is advised to catch problems early. For those who prefer a more proactive approach, changing the coolant every 4-5 years is a common practice, though some suggest waiting until 8-10 years if the coolant remains clean and functional.
