Oil and filters 10,000, cambelt 100,000

 

Sound OK?

No idea on the 1.6 but I was told 140000 miles for the cambelt on the 2.0L so it may be right.

Set it on variable service intervals if you do more than 10 000 miles a year and let the car tell you when it reckons the oil needs replacing. Cambelt on the CR170 engine has 210 000 km/130 000 mile intervals.

I need to schedule services for school holidays, if its says "NOW" just as I start a 6 week term it will be over when it gets done and invalidate the warranty

Do what I do. I have the service set to variable, but I always get it serviced before the car tells me it needs to be done. That way, you won't invalidate the warranty by going over the fixed service interval, and you can still get it serviced at your convenience.

The mileage and time (days) count down on the computer so the need for a service shouldn't come as a surprise.

 

You also get a message each time you turn on the ignition when you get within a certain mileage / time of the service, usually a good few weeks before the count down reaches 0.

 

The cambelt mileage varies by engine / model / build year so you'll be better firing off a quick email to Skoda UK with your VIN...

The time interval is fixed at 5 years for all cars built after September 2010.

That is very expensive. I always supply the oil which usually reduces the bill bt about £70 as labour is obviously still there.

Im tight

 

But I need a service to meet the warranty requirements

 

Oils about £45, oil filter about £10 (max), VW dont change any other filters at 10,000 miles or so they say

Funnily enough I enquired today about the cam belt on my 1.6 diesel. As it is newer than 2010 Model Year they said 5 years  like Silver1101 says above but not to go over 140k without changing it.    The car is running so well and is so cheap to run compared to my two previous Fords that I am contemplating keeping it for 150k rather than my normal 75-100k miles. 

Im VAT regd, so if I did it myself and raised a VAT invoice (to me) and produced delivery notes/invoices for Skoda oil/filters would it count?

 

my mates got a HGV workshop and a stamp if i get stuck lol

Including VAT.

 

Considering the latest models no longer get a service book I'd love to see where they are going to add their stamp

At a Skoda main dealer? I can't see many franchised dealers liking that?

Oil is less than £28 delivered to your door (from the Audi main dealer in Cardiff), an oil filter less than a tenner delivered...

It's dead easy, mine is a 2.0 litre but the 1.6 is very similar...

If you have a ramp it'll be even easier!

I dont scrable now, happy to pay £25 tho

it will have the best FS oil and VAG filters

Asda £20, for Castrol 5 /30 oil, on roll back

No good, it is 5W-30 A3/B4, this grade has now been discontinued and isn't suitable for Diesel Particulate Filters...

It meets VW 502 00 & VW 505 00 but not the important VW 507 00 the OP requires.

 

Good for your non-DPF 1.9 PD though Skippy, nice price @ £5 / litre.
