Do not as Skoda and other seem to confuse Servicing with Oil and filter Services. Maybe you want to do oil and filter changed more frequently than every 20,000 miles when the engine piles on the miles. Servicing and maintenance is something more than just a look see and grease hinges. So annual servicing like brake strips and cleans and other preventative measures might be best done at an Independent as Skoda Main Dealer servicing means not much getting done for quite a lot of cash money charged.

Not good. Not good if the DVLA issue a Recall & Skoda fail to contact Registered keepers or keepers of the cars that can be part of the recall.

@bumpymike Had Skoda / VW not contacted you on the DVLA Safety Critical Recall? That is a 'Skoda UK' Fail if not. Is your car on here? http://skoda-auto.com/services/recall-actions

A Briskoda member had a Show car that Skoda built using a vRS. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/265505-my-skoda-fabia-s2000-built-for-street http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/286149-carbon-bonnet

Very doubtful they knew what the parts were going to cost them at trade price, unless they happened to have take offs sitting there.

The £150 would have been very very cheap. But as @sepulchravesays, likely not nesessary.

There is evidence when the misfires have the codes logged as can happen. Yet you can drive the cars and feel misfires and no codes get logged because there were not enough in a cycle, as actually happens. You are making it up now about the massive bill unless there is something not posted here you do not know. £250 covers the price of the coils and plugs and £50 to fit, not the £500 previously mentioned. But the OP has told us the previous owner says the plugs were changed 6 months ago. So once checked they will know they are fine. Just doing the basics,

Bog off. You are very helpful and knowledgeable then push on and say / post something that people might believe as gospel when it is just crap. Drive the cars, open the bonnet of one, work on them and get to know them and get to know what the fundamental issues are with them. You say your interest is the engineering, well do some studying on the engineering of them, read the study manuals. Talk with those that have the cars rather than going by the posts and threads maybe.

Faulty TSI's like Euro 5 emission ones burn oil. They do not all. Using 5w 40 FS helped some that had oil users. The 1.5TSI will be fine with 5w 40 FS but no way needs it to reduce oil use, if it did it would be a gubbed engine. The 5w 30 FS III so VW504 00 / 507 00 was changed with the GPF's being fitted and the WLTP being introduced to assist in getting the low emissions VW needed under testing.

They are fitted to Petrol Engines in Skoda from 2018. So that is what TPS is showing. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/456700-has-my-car-got-a-gpf/page/2 ? Which Dealership used 5w 40 for the first 2 services. Main Dealerships usually use Long Life oil for Fixed or Long Life Services. Parks Hamilton claimed that they could not use VW 502 00 / 5w 40 FS for Servicing and then for a offer they were doing used exactly that.

I understand. So do not help by saying if there were misfires you would notice as many have not noticed over the years. Just be nice and not the usual smarter than your last snide remark.

It the PF, Particulate Filter / GPF. Is it 1.5 TSI pre GPF fitted and post GPF? http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/481795-what-oil-for-15-tsi

You addressed the OP's question. I addressed your duf gen on Misfires and you will notice them. I never 'face palmed you', i groaned at your usual not getting the discussion and the reply below your post.

Some Dealerships have been using 0w 30 FS III instead of 0w 20 FS IV, VW508 00 / 509 00 never heard of any using 'non long life oil' on 1.5 TSI's which the 5w 40 FS will be.

What were the choices. Did they show VW504 00 / 507 00 for an early car. 5w30 FS III VW 508 00 / 509 00 0w 20 FS IV for a later one? EDIT. VW 502 00 so 5w 40 FS is not long life oil and could be used for fixed services, not flexible / variable service intervals. This is for Variable / Flexible Servicing. See what they say about emissions with the VW504 rather than VW508 which VW / Skoda went to for the WLTP / RDE. (VW 502 00 is not shown as they do not want to.)

@sepulchrave All that i understand. You covered that. The statement that you will notice if you have misfires is what is misleading. Plenty have had misfire codes logged but never felt the car misfiring. Good if you do notice them though. Not a rabbit hole, just a correction on mis-information.

Many that drive Twinchargers over the past ten years were not aware of misfires and there can be misfires you are aware of and no Fault Code logged as not enough in a cycle. There have been cars with a spark plug tip about to break off that never felt misfires until maybe booting the car down a slip road onto a motorway and are at full chat on turbo and supercharge under 3,500 rpm and the plug fails and they go into limp mode. (2 cylinders shut down, turbo inhibited.) @VRSFABIA2021 Did you ask their hourly rate for a Diagnostic? Ar Participating Dealers of Skoda Fixed Servicing @ Maintenance it is £60 for the first 30 minutes.

@AMD87 might well be along to assist.

Same thing happened here with this Yeti, mix up with km / miles. http://briskoda.net/forums/topic/478006-warning-warning-warning Do you have a print out of any Servicing or Warranty or Service Campaign work just for your records of the car. That is if any work was done through VW Group dealerships?

There are lots of threads on the spark plugs including a pinned thread at the top of the page. Several threads I the last pages of this section are on plugs, coils etc Best get all 4 spark plugs out and inspected. Replace if need be. A guide by @UrbanPanzer shows how to. The coils or a coil might need replacing but first see what the 4 plugs look like . PS, open the airbox and see if a new airfilter is needed. ? Are you using Super Unleaded of 97 or 99 Ron ?

Lots of red herrings about. The car needs inspected on a ramp, maybe with wheels off or on a jack etc. Balance weights are stuck to the outside of alloy wheels. They are not In the alloys as in inside the tyres. If balancing wheels then balance weights might well get removed before new ones are stuck on. The weights can come off accidentally and leave a wheel / tyre out of balance. There are cars with TPMS that have the device inside the tyres. This is not the Factory System with a Yeti. (Balance beads go inside tyres.) Used maybe on Offroaders / Motor Cycles etc.
