Until now, Preventive Maintenance was the best way to take care of your VW.

Now there's a better way.

It's called VW Diagnosis and Maintenance.

Instead of giving every VW the same basic maintenance, we now treat each one as an individual. (Because you're the driver. And you have your own individual driving habits.)

Here's how it works.

Next time you bring your VW in for service, you'll see the service adviser as usual. But your car won't go to the mechanic as usual. Instead, it will be driven into a special diagnosis stall. One that's equipped with the very latest testing devices, especially designed for Volkswagens.

There, your VW will be tested by a specially trained diagnostician.

He'll check that car of yours from bumper to bumper. He'll analyze the engine. Check the wheel alignment, brakes, transmission. The lights, the battery, the tires. And many other items.

All in all, he'll make dozens of tests.

And he'll fill out a Test Report, like the one shown on pages 3-5. You'll get a copy of this Test Report. So you'll know the condition of your VW as you never knew it before.

If your VW's in good shape, you'll know it. If any repairs or adjustments are required, you'll know what needs to be done now, and what should be taken care of in the near future.

While your VW is in, we also perform the essential services, such as oil change, lubrication and other adjustments every VW requires.

VW Diagnosis and Maintenance replaces Preventive Maintenance. Therefore, this booklet replaces the maintenance record you now have.

So check the mileage on your odometer. Then check the mileage chart on pages 6-11. If your VW is due for a maintenance service, bring it in for a VW Diagnosis. Then we can give your Volkswagen exactly the maintenance it needs.

No more. No less.
