I'm not sure what type of lead it is, sorry. I just know it was a genuine one and he paid around £200 at the time. I would normally get an oil change once a year or every 10000 miles, however this is a lease car so it is due to go back in August next year so I was hoping I would get away with just the one service as I average around 10k miles per year.

Thanks very much for your replies. Unfortunately when we tried to use my brother in law's lead and connect to the controller, it comes up with an error saying the lead is not compatible with the vehicle (it's a genuine lead and previously worked fine with his 2016 Ibiza). I've spoken to the dealer who claim that how they set the service indicator is correct; even though mine is on the long life schedule it now needs to be seen by them every year for a health check and to keep the warranty up to date but can still go for up to 2 years and 18700 miles for the oil change.

Good afternoon, I'm hoping someone may be able to offer some advice regarding my service interval indicator. My cars a 2019 Mk3 Octavia TDi on the long life service schedule and it went into the dealers for it's first oil change / inspection service yesterday at 18700 miles. When i got the car back, i checked the service indicator which said the next oil change was due in 18700 miles and 730 days but the inspection one says 18700 miles or 365 days. I thought this was a mistake on behalf of the dealer and rather than drive 17 miles back there i had a go at resetting the indicator myself using the reset trip button technique. It was only after this i realised that this resets the service indicator onto the fixed interval services and it now shows the oil change is due in 9400 miles and 365 days and the inspection one in 18700 miles and 365 days! My question is my brother in law has VCDS so I'm hoping that i can put the car back onto the long life schedule without having to take it back to the dealers, does anyone know how this is done? I have experience of using Vag-Com on an old Passat I used to own but i'm struggling to find any guides that relate to this vehicle. Thanks.

Thanks for your reply. I would prefer to use the supplying dealer as they were great to deal with when we ordered the car, however £100 is a big difference! I'll give them another call to see if they can match the price. I would have thought the inspection service should include an oil change anyway, like you say it's a bit confusing!

Hi guys. I've got a 2019 Octavia 2.0 TDi DSG which I've had since new on a lease. It's on the variable servicing interval and the computers telling me it's due an oil change service at 18700 miles and an inspection at 20000 miles. Presumably this would just mean getting the inspection service done at 18700 miles which is when the oil change is due. I just wanted to pick your brains regarding what this should cost - I got the lease deal direct through the local Skoda dealership and the supplying dealer is quoting me approx £350 for the service whilst another nearby Skoda dealership is quoting me £250. Any ideas what should be roughly the correct price please? I appreciate labour rates vary slightly between different areas but £100 seems a big difference!
