How to Winterize Your Car with Our Volkswagen Service Team

While all the fun activities of fall may be top of mind for you, don’t forget that winter isn’t far behind. That means that it’s time to schedule Volkswagen service. North Penn Volkswagen is outlining the specific service tasks you need to be winter-ready.

Fluid Check

Vehicle fluids are necessary tools to protect your vehicle. However, the cold temperatures of winter can thicken your fluids, making it harder for them to flow and work effectively. Check your fluids to make sure that they’re at the adequate level or, if you haven’t recently, replace them.

Tire Inspection

You’ll also often see low tire pressure as a result of the cold weather. You’ll want to regularly inspect your tires to make sure the pressure doesn’t get too low. You should also ensure that you always have at least 5/32 of an inch of tread, which is crucial for traction on slick surfaces.

Replace Your Windshield Wipers

Wiper blades can easily become worn or brittle during the winter. To ensure that you can completely clear your windshield, we recommend replacing yours before winter weather begins. You should also replace your windshield wiper fluid with a specialized winter formula, which contains antifreeze ingredients.

Check Your Lights

On top of the reduced visibility from inclement weather, the winter season also means fewer daylight hours. It’s crucial to have working headlights to make sure that you can safely navigate winter streets. Don’t forget to check your taillights and brake lights as well, which are also essential to your safety.
