@Okedokey Was very assertive in a past thread about the oil change in the Oil in a OAM DQ200 DSG at 60,000 km.   Quite cheeky to me because of my stupidiy.

 

Nothing wrong with changing the oil in the MCU as long as done properly, the same with the oil in the box, but it would be good if someone showed where VW / Skoda recommend this, or have advice, guidelines or a schedule showing 60,000 km or under 38,000 or even 40,000 miles.

It's more like 1 or 1.1 litres.

 

I changed mine a couple of years ago.

 

Was very dark. Still didn't prevent the body of the mechatronics from cracking and it needing to be replaced and the mechatronics being rebuilt 🫣

Its exactly 1.7.  As per ElsaWin.  If you put in 1L, you probably damaged the unit.

Might help some who DIY.   For Service Campaign '34F7' & the Synthetic changed to Mineral.

1.7l is the gearbox. The mechatronics takes much less (1l).

Hi, first post, I have just bought a 2012 Octavia VRS CR170. It is on 130k, excellently maintened but I am confused if it needs a new cambelt or not.

 

The belt was changed on 60k in 2018. It is now on 130k.

 

Is it overdue?

 

If it is, is it a big job on these?

I've spent a bit of time collating some of the available information about the Octavia Mk2 with regards to which oil to use, timing belt intervals, DPFs, service schedules, brake disc sizes, etc.  I've tried my best to ensure there aren't any errors, but if you spot any let me know and I'll edit the info.

 

 

 

Important - You make use of this information at your own risk!

 

 

 

In the following documents and information distances are primarily given in kilometres along with the equivalent mileage value.  This is because the distance guidance provided by Skoda / Volkswagen Audi Group is generally specified in kilometres, not miles.

 

 

 

Engines, Cambelt Intervals, DPFs, Oil Capacities and Required Oil according to Servicing Regime

 

 

 

The following two PDFs contain the general info I have collated with regards the engines that have been fitted to the Octavia Mk2 and also the VW approved oil lists.

 

 

 

Octavia Mk2 Engine Info:

 

Octavia Mk2 Engine Info.pdf 28.49 kB · 5,315 downloads

 

 

 

VAG Approved Oils Lists (Split by standard / viscosity spec):

 

Approved Oils.pdf 58.32 kB · 2,501 downloads

 

 

 

 

Oil Standards:

 

VW 502.00 – Fixed servicing on petrol engines

 

VW 504.00 – Variable / long life servicing on most petrol engines (all 5W30)

 

VW 505.01 – Fixed servicing on PD diesels (don't use 505.00 as 505.01 has additional anti-wear requirements to protect cams / lifters)

 

VW 507.00 – Variable / long life servicing on any diesel and fixed servicing on any diesel fitted with a DPF (all 5W30)

 

 

 

Servicing Intervals

 

 

 

Engine Oil Change:

 

Petrol

 

Long Life / Variable - Up to every 30,000 Km (18,641 Miles) or 2 years maximum

 

Time & Distance - Every 15,000 Km (9,320 Miles) or 1 year

 

Diesel

 

Long Life / Variable - Up to every 50,000 Km (31,068 Miles) or 2 years maximum

 

Time & Distance - Every 15,000 Km (9,320 Miles) or 1 year

 

 

 

Air Filter:

 

Replace every 90,000 Km / 55,923 Miles or 6 years

 

 

 

Cabin / Pollen Filter:

 

Replace every 60,000 Km / 37,282 Miles or 2 years

 

 

 

Brake fluid change intervals:

 

Up to MY2010 - Every 2 years

 

From MY2011 - Initial change at 3 years, then every 2 years

 

 

 

Fuel Filter:

 

Diesel - Replace every 90,000 Km / 55,923 Miles

 

Petrol - Skoda state no interval / Lifetime fit, however would advise changing every 4 years (the fuel filter isn't expensive)

 

 

 

Spark Plugs:

 

1.8TSI and 2.0 TSI/TFSI (BZB, CDAA,BWA,CCZA) - Replace every 90,000 Km / 55,923 Miles or 6 years

 

All other Petrol Engines - Replace every 60,000 Km / 37,282 Miles or 4 years

 

 

 

Haldex 4x4 Oil Change intervals:

 

Up to MY2009 - Every 60,000 Km / 37,282 Miles

 

From MY2010 - Every 3 years

 

 

 

DSG (6 Speed) Oil Change interval:

 

Replace every 60,000 Km / 37,282 Miles

 

 

 

Alarm Sounder:

 

Replace every 6 years - mine didn't last that long, but in real life I think most people only replace this when it breaks (the internal battery in the siren tends to leak)

 

 

 

Battery:

 

Replacement recommended when the battery is 5 years old.

 

 

 

Brakes:

 

 

 

The following PDF contains tables that are based on what was originally factory fitted, subsequent owners may have upgraded the disc sizes (e.g. 288 to 312mm front discs) so it is always worth measuring them to double check before ordering.

 

 

 

Brake info removed whilst I amend the rear brake details for the VRS which are missing from the table.

 

 

 

Hopefully the above info is useful and will help with some of the frequently asked questions in this forum.

Great info many thanks. 

On a 2015 Scout how often does the transfer box oil need replacing or is connected to the DSG box?
