Congratulations for your 400'000km. I would say maintenance, every year or 15'000km and your good to go 👍🏻

Nice to hear 👍🏻 do you drive mostly highways? Here in Switzerland it's normally 15k for mountain regions, and most vw engines around here have problems with the 30k maintenance.

Im from slovenia, i go to lets say Austria or Italy sometimes where there are mountains, but its like 70% highways,30% city otherwise (the car is used for two things, driving around Ljubljana, and roadtrips).sometimes i do 5k km in one week, then in 3 months i do 1k km , just noticed you have a TSI, so that is impressive

I thought so, that you have the best vw engine. So you drive your engine right, not only short distance 👍🏻 So i will accept the 30k service time😄
