Hello- Just ordered a new Yeti yesterday...does anyone know what the service/maintenance schedule is?

Rgds,

Hi and welcome,

mine came with the variable service which is as indicated by the vehicle or 2years whichever occurs first.

Although I am intending to have her serviced on the fixed scheme which is 10,000 miles or 12 months whichever occurs first. This is purely for personnel preference as I feel the long service is more suited to cars that sit on a motorway all day.

Regards,

TP

Hi

I was told mine has a fixed service interval of 20K miles.

Don't know how/if I can change that to a variable one???

Hi Graham,

think your on variable service, 20,000 miles is often considered as the max distance you should go on a variable service schedule. A 'QG1' code on the vehicle data sticker on the boot floor and front of the service book will indicate your Monster is on variable, the fixed service has a 'QG2' code.

20k would be variable. Fixed would be approx 10k.

If you do 10k a year or less, and/or lots of short journeys and spirited driving, then you should be on fixed as per VAG guidelines

Guys, can anyone confirm if the 1.8TSI ships from the factory on the variable servicing regime?

Mine is !

Surely the dealer can set this up, or you if you have Maxidot.

If you want fixed interval servicing it doesn't matter which set up you have from delivery. Just take the car in at 10k miles / 12 months. I am assuming that they are all filled with long life oil from factory and the service regime set up later at pdi (that was the case with most VW's)

For the diesels the same VW507 oil must be used for either variable or fixed. Petrol variable is VW504 and fixed VW502. I think as standard they are delivered from the factory on variable; good for marketing.

Yes. Mine did and I think it's a standard practice.

Just to clarify the "and/or" here. If I do less than 10k per year, but mainly journeys over 20 miles, mostly at 60mph, does that mean my Yeti should be on variable or fixed service interval?

Personally I'd get it done every 12 months.

"Long life" servicing brought in to make the vehicles more attractive to fleet managers - who only care about the first 36 months of use usually.

If you're intending keeping longer than this, I'd go every 10k/12 months - whichever first. A service book with lots of stamps in can help residual values if selling privately.
