Editorial standards and corrections

• Product facts are evidence-led. We use the current listing, supplier or manufacturer documentation, physical measurements, and first-party inspection where those sources are available. A detail that cannot be verified is omitted rather than guessed.
• Technical sources are chosen for the vehicle. We prefer Volkswagen material, year-specific service literature, recognized component documentation, and relevant government safety guidance. The correct manual and specifications for the individual vehicle take priority over a general article.
• Safety limits stay visible. A guide can organize checks, but it cannot inspect a car or replace suitable tools, competent diagnosis, or a qualified professional when the work is outside the reader’s experience.
• Preparation is transparent. Writing and editing tools may help organize or clarify material. A factual claim is retained only when it is supported by current product evidence, a cited source, or clearly identified first-party observation. We do not invent a reviewer, credential, measurement, rating, or compatibility result.

If something appears inaccurate or incomplete, request a correction and include the page URL, the statement in question, and the source or vehicle detail we should review. A published date remains the original publication date; an updated date is shown only after the article changes substantively.
