Hi 

 

Have owned my 2019 citigo from new and really been pleased 

 

Just coming up to 3 year service and started calling around for service quotes 

 

Mileage of car =18k BTW 

 

Supplier garage All Electric garage is quoting a Inspection service (oil & filter) £185  , an optional  extended scope service bringing cost to £245 

 

I asked what extended scope covered but was not really given a clear answer , was told just more checks ?????

 

Another dealer Trust Skoda quoted oil & filter £130 and had no ideal what extended scope service meant ?

 

They mentioned brake fluid needed to be changed as a option ???? not sure if needed ???

 

Can any one please shed some light what 3 year service is needed and what a extended scope service actually is  / needed ???

 

Cheers Steve

 

 

 

 

The Scope element is explained here https://www.skoda.co.uk/owners/extended-scope but it does appear to include most of the things in the extortionate oil and inspection service. I ditched Skoda main dealer servicing at the first opportunity and now get more done for less money at a local garage that I actually trust to do the work.

 

Many thanks 

 

Yep looks to be the same as the oil and inspection service , apart from removing wheels  and a few more checks ....

 

Not sure if the brake fluid needs changing after 3 years and 18000 miles ?

 

 

 

Cheers Steve

Get your independent to check it for water content and change if required.

Just had this exact service on my 3 year old Seat Mii.

 

I opted to use a local VAG specialist, who recommended both an oil & filter change and brake fluid change (+ MOT).

 

I understand brake fluid is due at 3 years and every 2 years thereafter. 

 

Now the car is out of manufacturer warranty I didn't feel the need to go back to the main dealer

Many thanks any one know of VAG specialist in Worcester fairly local to Bromsgrove ?

 

Thanks Steve

I don't know of any local to you, but I can recommend Midland VW if you are willing to travel.
They are top notch guys, the lead time can sometimes be two weeks as they are always flat out.

Mine is in Sheffield unfortunately

I put my recently acquired 15 plate CitiGo into a VW independent. To change oil and oil filter, including flushing as well, new sump plug washer was £86.60. He was booked up for nearly 3 weeks but fitted me in at 8:30am as oil would be warm from driving there. That was near Chester though.

I will be using him again.
