4th service interval

[scowlsandgrowls]

Just been reviewing my service book v actual invoices.

In the service book it refers to change oil filter haldex clutch - I can't see that this was done - does this only apply to 4 wheel drive vehicles - mine is 1.6FSI front wheel drive?

Also the spark plugs should have been changed but don't appear to have been (or have not been charged for them). Should I get them changed at my now 6th service (30,000 miles) or wait till my 8th (estimated 40,000 miles)?

what is change spare battery for the alarm recommended every 6years?

Its not in the handbook but how often, if at all, should the air conditioning be recharged. I haven't had mine seen since new (2006) but it seems ok and the temperature on cold last summer seemed ok.

Thanks

Haldex is the four wheel drive system so doesn't apply to your Octavia.

The alarm siren has a back-up internal battery (for if a would-be-theif disconnects the main battery in an attempt to silence the alarm) which will need replacing at recommended intervals.

The A/C should only need recharging (or regassing) if it has a leak. If the system is working as it always has then no need for any attention, there is nothing to service on the A/C system.
