Owners

Don't get caught out this year by our British winter weather. Last year, we had 5 months of temperatures below 7°C, and most of us were taken by surprise.

We are not used to extreme driving conditions and so we’re not familiar with what we can do, or should do, to get ready for winter driving. There are engine checks, car checks, safety checks, body checks and winter tyre options for all our cars. Make sure you don’t forget the spades, blankets, hot tea and Kendal Mint Cake for you.

Your regular tyres are fine most of the year, but once the temperature drops below 7°C these tyres start to under-perform. You can improve your cars grip and performance in these colder conditions by fitting your car with winter tyres. For extreme snow conditions there are snow chains and even snow socks.

Learn about all the options and choices here, there’s plenty of advice. If you would like to talk it over you can pay a visit to your local Volkswagen retailer too. They’ll help you be prepared and safe throughout winter.

We offer free fitting and balancing on all winter tyres and wheel sets. We also perform free Express Visual Checks as part of our Volkswagen Service Promise. Simply visit a retailer to make sure your car is in tip-top condition before winter begins.
