The Volkswagen Caddy is one of the most versatile vehicles on Australian roads, trusted by tradies, couriers and families alike. Whether you drive a work-ready Caddy Van or a comfortable Caddy Life people mover, regular servicing is essential to keep it reliable and efficient. At Bosch Service Brisbane, we provide expert Volkswagen Caddy servicing, from logbook maintenance and brake checks to diesel engine diagnostics and timing belt replacement, helping your Caddy stay ready for anything.
Bosch logbook servicing follows Volkswagen’s exact standards, ensuring your Caddy stays warranty-safe and road-ready.
The Caddy is known for its durability, but as the kilometres add up a few common issues can appear:
Diesel Caddys are prone to DPF blockages and EGR valve issues, especially if mostly driven short distances. Warning lights and reduced power are common signs.
Many Caddys use VW’s 1.6 or 2.0 TDI engines, which require timing belt replacement at around 120,000 km. Water pump leaks are also common and should be replaced at the same time.
With regular loading and city driving, front strut mounts, control arm bushes and ball joints can wear early. Replacing them restores comfort and handling.
Sliding doors and rear locks can seize or stick due to frequent use. We repair and lubricate these mechanisms to prevent further damage.
Brisbane’s warm weather can cause seals to dry out, leading to weak or non-functioning air conditioning. We repair leaks, replace components and re-gas the system.
Volkswagen recommends servicing your Caddy every 12 months or 15,000 km, whichever comes first. At Bosch Service Brisbane, we follow the official VW Caddy service schedule, covering everything from oil and filter changes to brake inspections, timing belt replacement and major 60,000 km and 120,000 km services. Whether your Caddy is petrol or diesel, manual or DSG, our technicians have the tools and training to keep it in top condition.
Given its payload capacity and daily use, the Caddy’s brakes work hard. Our VW Caddy brakes service includes pad and disc inspections, replacements when needed and brake fluid flushing every two years to maintain stopping power. If you notice squeaking, vibration or longer stopping distances, it is time to have your brakes checked by our experienced team.
From air conditioning and infotainment to sensors and power doors, the Caddy’s electrical system relies on a healthy battery. Brisbane’s heat and heavy stop-start driving can shorten battery life, so regular testing is important. Our VW Caddy battery service includes testing, replacement and alternator checks to keep your Caddy starting reliably every day.
Diesel Caddys are efficient and capable, but they need the right maintenance to stay that way. Short trips can lead to DPF blockages and EGR carbon build-up, causing reduced power or warning lights on the dashboard. Our technicians use Volkswagen-specific equipment to clean or regenerate your DPF and keep your engine running smoothly. Regular diesel servicing also helps reduce emissions and maintain fuel economy.
For business owners, vehicle downtime means lost productivity. At Bosch Service Brisbane, we help keep your Caddy Van fleet on the road with reliable servicing, fast turnaround times and upfront quotes. We can schedule maintenance around your operating hours and maintain service records to assist with warranty claims and resale.
Our commitment to customer service, extensive experience in the field, and high-quality workmanship are just a few reasons why Brisbane residents trust us with their European cars.
