In this section, I’m going to show you how to access the secret menu on a VW Golf MK8 to reset your oil and inspection service lights. So let’s go inside the car and finish this job.
For your info, this operation work for the VW Volkswagen Golf MK5 MK6 MK7 MK8 (2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 model years).
Keep your engine running at its best by regularly changing your oil and oil filter. According to Volkswagen’s recommended servicing intervals, engine oil lubricates and cools for moving components of your engine and contains additives to prevent internal corrosion over time and use engine oil deterioration. Lack of oil changes may cause sludge deposits in internal oil passageways, lowering lubrication and increasing wear on components.
You need to replace the engine oil and oil filter during a minor service. For a major service, you will replace the spark plugs in a petrol engine or the fuel filter in a diesel engine.
Spark plugs operate in an extreme environment of high pressure and temperatures. Over time, they degrade and become less able to perform their function, leading to an efficient engine and lack of performance. This can cause potential engine damage and clean to use more fuel.
The gasoline filter in your engine is responsible for removing impurities such as dirt, rust, water, and more from the fuel before it enters the engine. Your car’s engine will run more efficiently if you use clean gasoline. The need to replace the filter when needed could lead to a drop in performance and could mean your car won’t start.
Additionally, you can replace your air filter and cabin pollen filter. The air filter is essential to stop dirt and dust particles from entering the engine. In contrast, the pollen filter filters the air entering your vehicle interior and ensures your air conditioning can clear condensation. For both services, we also conduct a full diagnostic check complete a visual safety inspection, and provide a written condition report by having your car serviced and the recommended intervals. You can be confident that you will keep all compiled in optimum condition to keep your vehicle running efficiently and effectively.
The Volkswagen Golf MK7 was offered in North America and had various engines. If you have the 2017 Golf GTI CXCB, which has a 2.0L four-cylinder turbo engine, you will need 6.0 quarts of SAE 5W-30 synthetic oil.
VW UK claims that you should change the timing belt on the Mk7 Golf 1.6 Diesel after five years or 140,000 miles, whichever comes first.
Depending on the type of your VW Golf, you may have a timing belt or a timing chain. One popular model, the Mk7 GTI, has a timing chain as standard equipment. In contrast, the TDi and 1.2/1.4 TSi models include a timing belt as standard equipment.
