Service interval for air and fuel filter tdi

[M12kyb]

can someone tell me if my car should have had the air filter and fuel filter changed as looking in the service book they have never been done!, it's 4 years old and done 38000 and it's the 1.4 tdi

Cheers guys

Yes it should have.

Fixed service interval is 12,000 miles.

Variable up to about 18-20,000 I think.

Air is at 40,000 miles as for the fuel, I did read on here that they're not in the service schedule, however I'd see 40,000 miles for one as a maximum.  So it appears that their change is imminent.

for the price, £20 ish for the fuel and ~£12-15 for the air, I'd do them every 20K

40k fuel filter might be for petrol engines, but diesels should be much sooner (even 18k on a variable interval is too long.

Oil filter should be done on a service: either 12k fixed or on variable. The recommended interval is (IMO) too long.

Air & pollen might both last a double service (24k+).

Cheers guys I'll get them ordered up

Fixed servicing is every 10k.

All ordered up will be here tomorrow, but just a quick question should the skoda dealer have changed these when they did the service before I bought it?

Depends on what service it was, but at 4 years and 40k no. Fuel filter gets changed at 60k.
