Just want to know from owners of VAG Tdi PD that do about 10-12k/year on a mix of roads what was their best service plan experience, the car in question is a Passat 130 which till now (115k) is on the long service plan but will do far less milage from 2008.
I read here that HJ think that a safe bet is onec a year or every 10k, till now it was every 20k miles!
the intention is to keep this dog carrier till 2115. ta

For extra peace of mind I would switch it to once a year. Otherwise you could be looking at every two years on a longlife schedule which would make me feel uncomfortable not just beacuse of the lenght of time the oil is in the engine but no inspection to identify potential problems etc. Or stay on longlife and assuming it gives you roughly 18,000 between services, just change the oil and filter every 9K or even 6K.
Don't forget the upcoming cambelt change and get the water pump done at the same time and specify metall impellors not plastic.

If you are doing 10,000 I'd go to annual servicing - variable is for high milers and owners manuals say so - IIRC variable is for cars doing 300+ miles per week on a regular basis.
I read of A2 users doing less than 10,000 miles and service intervals on variable were reducing to 7,000 miles or so.
