Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
People Also Ask
When should I service my Volkswagen?
You should service your Audi every 15000Km or at least once a year to ensure your car is always in its optimum condition.
What brand and type of engine oil should I use for my Volkswagen?
Engine oils differ from model to model due to the viscosity (thickness) of the oil. Oil formulations are revised by Volkswagen every few years based on new engine designs and emission requirements, fuel types and quality. The best place to look in is actually into the Volkswagen Owner’s manual to see which suits your vehicle.
There’s no one-type-fits-all engine oil, however we can use the same engine oil specification for your model when you bring it in for servicing. We carry over 15 different grades of Volkswagen engine oil.
When should I change the oil for my Volkswagen?
In general, a good practice guideline is to replace your engine oil every 15000km or at least once a year before the engine oil viscosity breaks down. There are other factors to also consider for example – a car’s age and the way it was driven.
Some owners who drive their car a bit more aggressively tend to replace their oil every 6,000 to 8,000km.
How do I know when to top up my engine oil?
Most current Volkswagen car models will be equipped with an engine oil level sensor and you should only top up when the oil level low indication pops up.
Take note that you could be facing an engine oil leak if you need to top up engine oil in between your service interval.
When do I change my spark plugs?
A good practice is to replace your spark plugs at 60,000km interval to prevent misfiring to the engine combustion. The benefits of spark plugs help to regulate and ensure optimal combustion – affecting important factors such as fuel economy, smoother starts and acceleration.
If your fuel economy starts to suffer or your car is misfiring, it could be due to your spark plugs and may be an early sign to replace them. This may also be a sign if you find your car hard to start. The good news is that spark plugs tend to have a long life span of around 100,000 miles so replacing them isn’t a regular affair.

What is a microfilter?
A microfilter is located within the HVAC system (heating, ventilation and Air Conditioning) that helps to trap 80% of pollutants in your cabin such as dust, bacteria, allergens, traffic and exhaust fumes, including pollen. Volkswagen recommends changing the cabin filter every 19,000 to 24,000km.
The filter traps harmful contaminants using either electrostatic charge or activated charcoal.
How often should I change the brake fluid for my Volkswagen?
It will be recommended to replace your brake fluid with a complete brake flush at every 60,000km or 3 years whichever comes first.
How long does servicing take?
A normal engine oil change will take around 2 hours or so if no other wear and tear is needed for urgent attention.
How much does it cost to service my Volkswagen?

ABS or Anti-lock Brake System is an advanced technology designed to maximize the braking efficiency and help prevent wheel from locking during heavy braking situation, giving the driver better control of the car. The hydraulic power that applies to the ABS brakes automatically is greater than a driver could apply.
ABS fault code warning light comes on is a common failing on cars with ABS. When the ABS system is not functioning, loss of traction, skidding, and hydroplaning are likely to occur under heavy braking conditions.
There are instances where a faulty ABS System can behave erratically, causing the brakes to lock up under normal driving conditions. If you experience sporadic behavior from your brakes such as random clicking noises and pumping of the brakes, your ABS module is due for replacement.
The ABS on most vehicles is designed to give sufficient warning signs when there is any trouble with the system. Being aware of these warning signs, and addressing the problem as soon as they arise will help ensure that your ABS system and vehicle remains functioning for maximum safety.

When your coolant pump begins to leak or becomes noisy, your car tends to overheat at low speed or idle. However, when you accelerate, the engine temperature drops. Leaking water pump can result in damaging the drive, timing belt or cooling system.
Although it is not always indicative of a coolant pump failure, it is a good starting point to check the radiator hoses first.

While driving home after a late night out, I felt some vibrations in my car and a warning lit up on my meter board.
Feeling distressed, I quickly texted Gavin to seek his advice. I was quite surprised that he responded immediately despite the late hour.
The next morning, I drove to his workshop to have my car checked. His friendly and competent team found that the issue lay with the engine pistons after some tests.
Initially, I was quite depressed to hear the word “engine overhaul” as I thought that it would set me back with a hefty repair bill. Gavin patiently explained the whole repair process to me and pointed out each part that needed to be replaced, and explained why it was necessary to repair the engine.
(I have encountered some workshop personnel who were easily offended when I asked them more questions regarding the repair!)
As expected, the engine overhaul was professionally done and delivered to me on time for my weekend drive with my family.
I was happy that Gavin kept me posted throughout the process of the repair. He also did a test drive to ensure that my car met their QC Standards, and was working satisfactorily, before returning the car to me.
I am happy that the total repair cost was precisely as quoted. My car now drives more smoothly and even with more torque. I’m relieved there is no more annoying jerkings and vibrations.
Based on my past experience with various workshops, I now affirm to be a long term loyal customer of Revol Carz Garage for their dedication, professional expertise and price transparency.
No hidden cost. No surprises. Thumbs up for the Great Job!
I am inclined to write this testimonial as a way of expressing my heartfelt gratitude to Gavin and his remarkable team at Revol Carz Garage for a great job of permanently resolved my car issues and saving me a huge sum of money too.
While I was driving along the MacPherson Road area recently, my ABS warning light came on. I panicked and promptly drove to the AD (Authorised Dealer) workshop in the vicinity for a check. The diagnosis revealed a faulty ABS pump. The gearbox overhaul was recommended due to auto transmission oil leakage.
The quotation by the AD was shockingly high so I contacted Gavin at Revol Carz Garage for a second opinion. After a thorough check by their professional team, it indeed pointed to the faulty ABS pump. Conversely what surprised me was that overhauling the gearbox was unnecessary as the oil leak could be resolved by just replacing two broken screws in the transmission housing.
The ABS pump was replaced promptly however when I left the workshop, I still had lingering doubts despite Gavin’s assurance that there was no need for the gearbox overhaul as opposed to the diagnosis at the AD. Several months had already passed since my car was back on the road. Indeed there was absolutely no more oil leak and my auto transmission has been faithfully running smoothly.
I found it rather rare to find a workshop like Revol Carz Garage for such professionalism and integrity. They place the customer’s interest first and offered me an honest quotation despite knowing the AD had quoted me so much higher. For that, they have saved me a whopping $6,000 plus.
I have nothing but praise and high regards for Gavin and his professional team. I shall definitely be your long term customer for many years to come.
Revol Carz Garage is highly recommended!
The team at Revol Carz Makeover workshop did an excellent detailing work on my decade old 2007 COE Renewed Volkswagen.
