The service indicator has appeared on dash of my 2003 101k vrs. What is supposed to be replaced at this service? Oil filter,air filter, plugs???

I've done a search but can't find out. Thanks all

I think Spark plugs are every other service so see what you had last time.

It is all in the manual, but if you're going to have it serviced you will have to ask what is being done.

My car didn't come with a manual unfortunately. I'll prob be doing the service just interested as to what is due. Oil main thing of course

What servicing is needed now depends to an extent on what was done in the past and when. I recommend that you buy or borrow a Haynes manual for the Octavia since it lists maintenance schedules in the front.

Right from my MK I manual:

Every inspection service:

- Engine oil/filter

- Check engine for leaks (visually)

- Fault code check
