A small but important optional maintenance task is due once a year, the replacement of the SOG filter in the bathroom. Either it is replaced as part of an inspection at Volkswagen or you do it yourself quickly and easily, which is much cheaper.
All necessary maintenance work on the Grand California can be found here:

The filter is located in the bathroom cabinet of the Grand California and can be changed in a few seconds.
Why should the filter be changed?
The filter is made of activated carbon, which neutralizes odors from the toilet cassette before they are released outside under the car. Over time, the activated carbon loses its effect and replacement becomes necessary. According to the SOG, this is necessary once a year, the only way to ensure that it does not smell like your business outside the vehicle. 😃 Who this does not bother, of course, can not change the cartridge, but on a camping or camping site is better for peace, if not all the time a certain smell in the air.
How to change the filter?
