I've just been told by my local Skoda dealer that variable servicing is not an option for any fabia including vrs.Is this correct

Dont really know, look in service book, or the sticker in the hatch area for code "QG1" thats variable servicing.

I'm sure Graeme or Jason will comment... Not got my vRS yet, but I thought I could get variable servicing... :confused:

Nope the code in the book says QG0 which is the fixed servicing schedule. Though the manual does state QG1 and QG2 as options on the Fabia! This may only be the case in foreign lands though. :(

My Fabia is on variable servicing, as I got the service indicator on after 11 months and 6700 miles.

This is what the FAQs in the Customers Services section of Skoda UK's site say about servicing requirements:

"The service requirements will vary depending upon the model and engine. Fabia Models require a lubrication service at 10,000 miles and an inspection at 20,000 miles or 12 months whichever is sooner. All Octavia and Superb Models can operate on either a fixed or a variable servicing regime. On Variable servicing, intervalls are determined by driving styles and conditions of use. The on-board computer will indicate when a service is required which could be up to approx. 20,000 miles for petrol engines, 30,000 miles for 4 cylinder diesel and 24,000 miles for V6 Diesel. Further information may be found in the Service Schedule contained within the vehicle document wallet or by contacting your local retailer. To find your local retailer please select the retailer locator tab from the home page of this site."

Perhaps the light has come on as it is nearly a year. IIRC, the intervals are 10000 or 1 yearly. Could be it's come on a month early to give you time to get it booked in.

What is the service indicator saying? Service, Service now, or something else?
