Hi toot, as a matter of interest I was quoted - all from Skoda dealers £1300, £800, £600 and £569. My friend had his done for the last price, whilst myself and friend went for the £600 as it was more convenient. Interestingly the £800 and £569 were from the same group but in different relatively local towns!

Hi Rob, my friends and I who own Skoda cars with a 1.5 tsi engine were peristantly sent texts pestering to get it changed when the 5years were up which started at the end of March of this year. Mine was done at the end of June. VW must have known that they didn’t need changing so rapidly unless the car had reached a high mileage or drove in dusty countries. I’m trying to factually establish when VW notified Skoda retailers of this. History has taught us not to believe everything that is said to us by manufacturers, I’ve spent £600 needlessly.

Hi, I’ve come to this discussion late. Does anyone know when Skoda or VW notified their agents (garages) when the recommendation to change the cambelt went from a time (4-5yrs) or mileage to now mileage only for a 1.5 TSI engine. I had mine changes on dealers advice on 29th June having done 14.5k miles from new. I think they were informed about this change before then and I’m feeling ripped off.

Has anyone had experience of using Shell v power or BP or Esso equivalent petrol as opposed to the standard 95 Ron in the 1.5 tsi dsg karoq, mines the edition but I assume the results would be the same for all the range with this engine. Is there any advantage in paying the higher price? Sorry if this subject has been raised before but cannot find anything on this site about this subject.
