Oil Change Interval:
Typically 15,000 km (9,300 miles) or 12 months, whichever comes first, with flexible service intervals (indicated by the car's computer).
Spark Plug Replacement Tfsi:
Approximately 60,000 km (37,000 miles) for the 2.0 TFSI engine.
Timing Belt Replacement:
The 2.0 TFSI uses a timing chain. The 3.2 V6 FSI uses a timing chain, which typically requires inspection and potential replacement at higher mileage (e.g., 160,000-200,000 km).
