  7. VAQ LSD Servicing

    I’m a bit past 30,000 miles and have read that a VAQ Differential Service is Required. I am looking at probably doing the DSG oil service a little earlier than the recommended 40,000 miles but am confused as I have been told by one garage that the VAQ Differential “shares” oil from the DSG...

    Hello, I bought a used Seat Leon Diesel (04) a year ago at 43627 miles. I'm not sure on the recommended timespans between minor and major services? It's now got 56000 on the clock a year later.
