The benefits of servicing your VW Transporter
Safety: A VW Transporter is a large vehicle. Therefore, for the safety of you, your passengers and those around you, itβs important that your vehicle isnβt jeopardized by problems that would have been caught by a service.
Longevity: Regardless of what your VW Transporterβs main purpose is, you want it to last. After all, theyβre not the cheapest of vehicles to buy. By having an annual service, you ensure your vehicle lasts for longer.
Reliability: If you use your van for work, you canβt risk a breakdown or failed MOT. Thatβll cost you profit. If your van is converted and used to travel, being reliable can be the difference between exploring or not. So, get your vehicle serviced.
Savings: If nothing else catches your attention, this will. By having your VW Transporter serviced regularly, youβll not only save Β£1000s by avoiding large repair bills, but youβll also drastically increase your miles per gallon. Definitely win-win.
How do I know when my VW Transporter needs servicing?
Most Transporters need to be serviced either every 10,000 to 20,000 miles or every 12 to 24 months, whichever comes first.
Your VW Transporter will tell you it’s ready to be serviced when the service indicator or service light appears on your dashboard. However, if youβre unsure what youβre looking for, let us know and weβll help you find out when you need your next service.
After your first Transporter service with Bowydd, weβll send you a friendly reminder 4 weeks before youβre next due.

Typical VW Transporter Service Checklist
Lighting & Visibility β Front and rear lighting is thoroughly checked for correct operation. Additional visibility items such as glass and wipers are inspected, along with exterior mirrors and registration plates.
Steering, Drive, and Suspension β A comprehensive check of all joints, gaiters and wheel bearings is carried out. This is followed by an inspection of the front and rear shock absorbers and road springs.
Vehicle Interior β A thorough inspection is conducted of the seat belts, horn, hazard lighting, as well as all vehicle controls. Weβll also ensure the correct operation of the driver displays, noting any warning messages.
Under Bonnet β A full visual inspection is carried out ensuring no leaks exist and all components are serviceable. Where applicable, service items such as air filter, oil filter, sparks plugs, drive belts, etc are replaced.
Braking β Front and rear brake components are checked and measured so that service life can be reported upon.
Under Vehicle β After removal of the under trays, the engine oil is drained and transmission checked for leaks.
Tyre Inspection β All road wheels and tyres are inspected for serviceability and pressures adjusted prior to refitting. Where applicable, the spare wheel is inspected or inflation kit checked for operation.
