Servicing - hugely confused.....
Flocktavia replied to Flocktavia's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
It's the 2.0tdi, with the manual 6-speed. It has got to be intentionally confusing. I can't even find a mention of a long life service on the Skoda website. And then it's oddly priced between an interim service and a major service. I think tomorrow I'll go above the local dealer and try and get some more solid info. Many thanks for your input. -
Afternoon all. I bought a 2014 Octavia last year. I've just been delving into the servicing requirements a bit more and I've got no idea what it needs or when it should have it. The 'oil change in 400 miles' has popped up, and on calling the Skoda dealer to query they suggest that while it's in I have the long service. However, on the in car service display it says that 'inspection' is due in 11000 miles, or 400 days. He said this would cost £215. Summary of its history; Service 1 - April '14 - 6000 miles - Oil change service only Service 2 - April '15 - 14000 miles - Oil change service, Inspection service, not with 'extended service scope,' whatever that is. Service 3 - April '16 - 23000 miles - Oil change service, inspection service, WITH extended service scope. Dust + pollen filter change Service 4 - April '17 - 32000 miles - Oil change service, inspection service, not with extended service scope. Fuel + air filter + dust/pollen filter change Service 5 - About now due the oil service indicator - 40000 miles - ?????????? So it looks like it's had an 'extended service scope' (long service?) in April 16, but the in car indicator says it doesn't need one until another 11000 miles/400 days - but that'll be 3 years since the last 'long service.' As for the £216, apparently that includes oil change and filters etc, and the long service. I've got no idea what the long service entails, or why it's not priced the same as either the interim or major services online. Does anyone have a clue what you're supposed to do with these cars? Seems as transparent as mud. I do 18000 miles p.a. Many thanks.
