What should I make sure I do if I am doing my own MK7.5 GTI maintenance?
If you have decided to maintain your own vehicle you should be sure to do a few things.
- Keep meticulous service records including mileage, date and proof of purchase of the parts. This is important because if you ever run into a warranty issue they may ask you for service records. Failing to produce these could result in a denial of a warranty claim.

Comments
Just FYI, per owners manual and verified through two nearby VW dealers, spark plug replacement is every 6yrs or 80k (which ever occurred first). Also, DSG service, is every 80k not 40k.
80k DSG service is for the 7speed mk7.5, for clarification.
