Frequently Asked Questions About VW Maintenance

Will my factory warranty remain valid if I have my VW serviced by you?

Yes, absolutely! According to European law (Regulation 461/2010), you can have your Volkswagen serviced at any authorized garage without affecting your manufacturer's warranty. However, it is important that the maintenance is carried out according to manufacturer specifications and that it is properly documented. At Faay Auto Groep, we work according to VW guidelines and provide you with a complete, stamped maintenance log. Your manufacturer's warranty remains valid.

Do you use original VW parts?

We offer both options. For customers who prefer genuine VW parts (VAG parts), we can supply them at competitive prices. We also work with A-brand equivalent parts from leading manufacturers such as Bosch, Mann, Sachs, Brembo, and Hengst. These parts meet the same specifications as genuine parts but are often 30-40% less expensive. You can always choose which parts you need.

How long does a VW service take on average?

The duration of maintenance depends on the type of service. We usually complete a minor service within 1-1.5 hours. A major service takes 2-3 hours. For larger repairs, such as timing belt replacement, you should allow half a day to a full day. We always schedule plenty of time and inform you in advance of the estimated duration. For maintenance, you can often simply wait in our comfortable waiting area. For longer work, we offer courtesy transport.

How much does it cost to replace a timing belt on a VW Golf 7?

For a VW Golf 7 with a 1.6 TDI engine, we charge €449 for a timing belt replacement, including a water pump, tensioner pulley, and all necessary parts. At the dealership, you'll often pay €850-950 for this. The Golf 7 1.4 TSI has a timing chain that normally doesn't need replacing, but if it wears out, it can cost €800-1200, depending on the damage. The 2.0 TDI also has a timing belt, which we replace for €529, including a water pump. We recommend replacement after 180,000 km or 6 years (whichever comes first).

Can you read and code VW electronics?

Yes, we have professional VAG-COM/VCDS diagnostic equipment with which we can read, analyze, and program all VW systems. This allows us to: read and interpret all error codes, analyze live data for accurate diagnosis, perform adjustments (coding) such as activating DRL (daytime running lights) or adding comfort features, perform service resets, and program modules when replacing parts. Diagnosing a specific problem costs €45, but for repairs over €200, the diagnosis is free.

Do you also serve electric VW models like the ID.3 and ID.4?

Yes, we've also trained on the latest electric Volkswagen models from the ID series. For electric VWs, we perform: periodic inspections and maintenance, brake maintenance (important due to regenerative braking), air conditioning service, software updates, high-voltage system diagnostics, and periodic vehicle inspection (APK). Maintenance on electric cars is generally cheaper because there are no oil, filters, or timing belt changes. An annual inspection costs approximately €89-129.
