BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hello BHPians. Apologies if I'm a bit off topic here. I'm planning to buy a pre owned Jetta and in the process of getting service history of a car. I have a couple of questions around this: 1) Do service stations oblige by providing service history if requested? 2) Is the service history database centrally connected i.e. if the car was in Mumbai, would I be able to get the service history details in another city? Thank you all in advance. |

Yes, Central database helps in getting details of vehicle history even if the car is serviced multiple times outside the registered state. That would be easier for dealer in getting the details when the car is towed, or serviced. | |

| ![]() I have a somewhat similar problem on my 2009 Jetta Automatic, while I do my Mumbai-Pune-Mumbai routine every week. Sometimes, while setting the cruise control around 70km/hr, the speed creeps upwards or downwards and I have to disable it/enable it and then set it again. This happens about 50% of the time. At speeds of 80km/hr and above, it works as expected and I don't face any issues. But I am ok to live with the situation, rather than have somebody mess it up further. |

VW had no solution for me at all. Also, Google was no help, to the extent that I thought I was the only one in the whole world who ever faced this issue. I am sorry you have this issue, but a small part of me is happy you have this issue. Comforting to know that I am not the only one. Good luck and let me know if this is ever resolved. Thanks and cheers | |

I called up 2 service centers in Bangalore and both of them denied the fact that the database is centralized. They said I'll need to get in touch with the agency where the car is serviced. | |

| ![]() As far as I know, VW service centres have local as well as centralized databases. A service advisor confirmed the same to me in the past. It is just that they rely on their local database, unless they really have to access the centralized database. For providing the service record of a car, they would likely need written consent of the present owner. |

I then contacted the service manager of that particular centre and he shared through SMS the date of service and the kilometers covered at that time. He however did say that if you require details and a print out, it cannot be given unless a written consent from the current owner. | ||

BHPian ![]() | ![]() What will be a general opinion from Jetta owners and experts about buying a Jetta HL DSG (Dec 2011) with full service history and 63k on the odo. It came out clean in a service center check-up as well. Insurance expires towards the end of this month. Tires will need a change soon too. For 6.5 lac approx, does it sound like a good deal? |

1. How many Owners ? 2. What's the reason behind low price compared to other similar cars ? 3. How many Services done so far ? 4. If tyres were changed previously, at what odo reading ? If I get to know the answers for the above questions, it will be easier for me to recommend it. But I also suspect, there is a reason behind this low price.

What I also wanted to get an opinion for is on any kind of expenses I could be looking at given the fact that the car has clocked 63k. Do any major expenses come up on a Jetta AT i.e. on 75k service etc. Just got to know that the tyres were changed last year - dont know which month though.
