Hello

 

just purchased a 66 reg 1.4 diesel Rapid, i was wondering what is the service frequency and what I need to get done in the services.

Welcome to the forum.

 

The Service is Fixed at 9,400 miles / 372 days or sooner if on Fixed Servicing or if on Variable @ 24 months / 18,000-20,000 miles. ish sort of.

 

?

So what was done at 2017,18,19 ?   

 

How many miles has the car done.  http://volkswagen.co.uk/owners/servicing/regimes

 

@ 2 years the Pollen filter was maybe done and due again at 4 years.

Air Filter and Fuel Filter could be done at 4 years but check them.

Oil & Filter.

Brake Fluid could have been done at 3 years or not or you might have it done now or just have its moisture content checked.

Just Normal Servicing stuff.

Thanks for the reply

 

I have bought the car from Simpson Skoda in Colne, Blackburn.

it has just short of 21K on the clock, and is a 66 Reg. I am unsure if it has any service history as there was no service book.

 

I will be driving approx. 18K per year 90% motorway / A Class road driving.

 

Reading between the lines I will be looking at a full service yearly (Variable)

 

I am hoping to get 10 years out of this car, which will bring the mileage up to approx. 190K ish

They can Email you the service history since they never bothered printing it out for you when you got the car.

Someone might be along and tell you how to check online what is on the system.

?

Do you know if it is set just now on Variable / Flexible servicing so 24 months / 18,000-20,000 miles.?

Or is it set on Fixed 9,400 miles / 372 days or sooner?

Check with Simpson Skoda and see if your car had any Service Campaign Work on the Cooling System / Water Pump.

That should show on the System along with the Servicing done.
