I watched the oil change video again. The oil change seem pretty straight forward. I went out and took a look at my TDI engine to become oriented where everything was located, and I comfortable that I could do an oil change when the time come; although, I may let the Sterling Volkswagen handle it. Sterling Volkswagen is just about one mile from my house, so it would be very convenient. The first and second oil change is due at 5,000 miles intervals with oil changes at 10,000 miles interval there after through the warranty period. I would have to look at my VW manaul, but I'm thinking the oil changes then goes to 20,000 miles intervals.
I would certainly want to take the VW in when it's time to change the timing belt; which occurs every 85000 to 100,000 miles interval and costs between $500 to $700 for that service cycle. The big question is how thourouh is Sterling Volkswagon in servicing the TDI.
There are also videos for changing the timing belt and other things; although, that would be more than I would be confortable with.
