Had mine service by vw till about 170k km and then started doing it myself currently on 230k km no issues apart from a cracked exhaust manifold seems like a common issue on these cars just got it welded and its all good. You may ask then why was i watching this video. Because i did an engine wash and i think water got somewhere. Just ran the car on idle till for about 10 minutes and it seems to have fixed the epc light😂 fingers crossed

Thanks for watching and the comment. Yes no reason to go to VW as long as you service it correctly which i am sure you do. Water ingress can cause all sorts of issues but a bit of heat can obviously cure it occasionally.

How much are their engine life if they're serviced regularly

Thanks for watching like any thing mechanical, it depends on how it's used, obviously only 3 cylindes on smaller engines so they will fail sooner due to more wear.
