I've noticed in the past that people ask about the running costs for various models, so I thought I'd try and create a thread where the info could be stored in one place.

Please add as much detailed info as you can.......

Had mine for 32 months, did 138k miles in it.

Fuel economy; motorways cuising at 80-85 indicated, I'd get about 38mpg, A roads about 35, brisk driving on A roads about 30-32, trackdays about 12 and the Ring about 8-10 mpg.

Servicing costs: You can either go variable servicing or fixed 10k servicing. I went 10k due to my mileage and needing to know when it would need a service. Costs were:

10k =

This is based on a friend

Ooooh , nice idea.

My 1.9 tdi elegance (110bhp) is about to go , so over 3 years and 80000 miles I paid out the following

10k - £90

20k - £230

30k - £90

40k - £260

50k - £90

60k - £240 including free cambelt change (Would have been £250)

70k - £90k

4 new tyres , fronts at 40k rears at 60k - £360

Brake pads - £22

Warranty fixes were an air vent and a switch on the clutch pedal

Fuel consumption averaged at 52mpg which is about 7000 litres of diesel. At a rough average of 90p a litre that was £6300

Depreciation was £8k , so my 80000 miles cost me in total £15772

Is it a 110?

Nice one John, thanks.

just paid £180 for 2nd service,brake fluid and that [3rd oil change] but thats a fixed service so oil a lot cheaper and no air filter [green 1] [john mulholland. Ulster. ]

:bump:

So we can get some more numbers.....

planning on updating mine soon. Just need to dig out all the records.

Its cheaper to service the car yourself and look after your own baby if competant as most servicing is oil and filters.

'04 Fabia vRS over 60K miles:

Oilman supplies oil cheaper than my dealer, so I supply the oil for services.

February 05 – 10K service

Skoda Elegance 110tdi registered Nov 2000

18,500 Set of tyres uniroyals

Thanks Martin and Bryan.

Any more Superb and Fabia ones?

Updated my main post.

For info the flywheel (which was going to cost

Fabia 1.9TDi Comfort Estate 2001

10000 - Cost Kc 4399 ! (was in Czech Rep so had it done there - biggest part of the bill was the oil!)

18863 -

Updated main post.

:thumbdwn:

Motorline in Canterbury are qouting me 336.00 for a 20,000 mile service on my two year old Furby Vrs!

Absolute robbery - I have found cheaper already - hope your listening:D

I would say a mark 1 OCT VRS is not bad on fuel:

Around town your lucky or very light footed to get in the 20's

On a motoway 35 is average

Not bad for a turbo i guess
