Transmission Service

Auto transmission service is one crucial area of maintenance that is commonly neglected. Many car manufacturers do offer lifetime sealed automatic transmissions, and This means they do not schedule any transmission service or fluid change. As by the growing demand for efficiency and also by the same token the stress placed on the transmission is immense. To tackle this problem, Volkswagen stepped up against the culture and scheduled the regular maintenance guide for all their wet clutch gearbox at every 60’000 Km’s in most of their vehicles, This is critical for the longevity and performance of the new complex but ultra fast and crisp gear shifts.

At AVW Group we follow strict guidelines about fluid and filters provided by the manufacturer. Call us for more information and price on transmission service.

Timing Belt

A timing belt is one critical component of the internal combustion engine regardless of what fuel it runs at. It synchronises the rotation of crankshaft and camshaft to control the valve train. A timing belt is usually a toothed belt. Most modern engines come equipped with a timing belt, and it is critical to prevent a timing belt failure as these engines are interference engines. Interference engine as it indicates by the name, where valves come in contact with the pistons if they are not timed correctly. At AVW we use OEM tools to align the camshaft and crankshaft to rule out the chance of misalignment where it can prevent you from a catastrophic failure.

Timing belt must be replaced according to the manufactures recommended time or distance travelled. Most Volkswagens are due for timing belt replacement in 105,000km’s or 6 years, but It can vary from model to model. The information regarding the timing belt replacement can be found in your vehicles owner’s mannual, or you can call us to find out about the recommended replacement and replacement cost.
