Update on the DSG, local dealer confirmed its an 80 000 mile service for the DSG fitted to mine & were aware of varying requirements. Happy with that & annual service/MOT completed with no issues. THanks again for the responses above.

Thanks all for the replies - all good stuff. I could have been clearer about my question - I've been trying to fugure out which gearbox I have which would have allowed me to figure out when the interval is from all the excellent threads on this site & thanks @roottootfor posting the detailed table. No confusion about what to do once I know which type of DSG is fitted. Question was never about Haldex, but all noted & seems a common thread on here, as with DSG's. Thanks @Schtumappreciate your post. Found a gearbox code on an invoice & am certain mine is the DQ381 which matches others experience & advice on the 2.0 TDi 4x4 (invoice code is SWT - https://www.proxyparts.com/car-parts-stock/information/gearbox-code/swt/part/gearbox/partid/10426766/) so looking to be an 80 000 mile service interval, which is what one dealer told me. I agree the generic info posted on the Skoda site covers too many models to be very useful. @Gomezzre timing belts & water pumps thats one cost that looms large & defo one to be planned around lol @kodiaqsportlinemy extended or approve used warranty does state that the recommended items have to be carried out, otherwise I wouldn't have said so I know a guy who owns some flavour of Ford - didn't carry out a transmisson service, box failed, claim not upheld. ££££££. Not convinced anything provided by a dealer would allow the owner to escape liability for not carrying out required servicing & don't recommend anyone to rely on that - just do what needs to be done. The problem is often figuring out exactly what needs to be done in specific cases, owing to the lack of clear info for owners provided by some manufacturers. I'm sure maintenance used to be a lot more straightforward back in the day....

Hi troops - I know this has been discussed before, I've read all I can find on it on here - 4 year service time on my low mileage (21000) 2018 SE L 2.0 TDI 4x4 Karoq and I have the following responses from franchise dealers and an independent VAG specialist: - not sure but will find out and tell you before you come in (for routine stuff) - not required until 80 000 miles - most of these are sealed for life so unlikely, tell you when you present the vehicle Looking at previous threads, if its a higher powered engine it needs to be done periodocially as the wet box is fitted, lower powered 'dry' versions are sealed for life no service. What do we think - any experience from owners or those in the know with my particular model? I believe in preventative maintenance, but in these days of short term car ownership, I won't be doing anything that Skoda don't clearly recommend. My objective is to maintain warranty conditions and clauses that say you should carry out all the reommended items. To me, 'recommended' means you 'must' to maintain the approved used warranty - its in the fine print. Really would appreciate your thoughts/experience on this topic. Btw can't fault the car, quite a competent machine. Michelen Cross Climate on her, very sure footed.
