I took delivery of brand new vrs mk4 in March. 

Its 2ltr diesel dsg 4x4.

I bought it through a broker. 

When will it be due it's 1st service ect? 

?

What does it say on the Service indicator if you look at that? 

 

It left the factory set on Flexible / Variable Servicing so if left on that at the PDI then first service is due in 24 months , 18,000-20,000 miles.

If it was changed to Fixed Servicing then that was to 372 days, 9,400 miles.

 

It might be on Variable but left showing an 'INSPECTION' due in 12 months.  But there are no INSPECTIONs.   Ask a Dealership what an INSPECTION is and how much they charge,

 

There are Oil & Inspection Services, or OIl services, Oil & Filter maybe, as a interim service.

Where are you going to?   HAWCO is rather expensive.  IMO.

Prices might be up from this.

Going to use a local garage mate, skoda told me as long as they use skoda parts etc my warranty is fine. 

Do they have the licensed equipment.

Can they check for any TPI,s / Software enhacements and do the work & also put the Service Record on the system, also do the Paint / Body inspection for the Paint & Corrosion Warranty and put that on the system?

Can they do Warranty Work or will it be Inverness you need that done at?

Not sure mate I'll pop in and ask them.. 

Good.

No issue if they know how to service cars and they surely must.

?

Where was the PDI done before the car came to you?  

 

*Best look see what the service indicator is counting down, miles and days.  Oil Service and is it showing Inspection.?* 

 

Ask your local garage if they can reset the Service Indicator.

I have no idea mate, as I said I bought car through a broker.. 

So no service book just as it has been for years, 

and without a Print Out no record in your hands.  It is online.

 

You want the On-line record.

 

Could you let us / me know what your service screen shows so that there is an idea if the Service Regime was changed at the PDI from Variable.

If on Variable it is 2 years before a service due, 

but nothing stops you having an Oil change or servicing before that, and you doing what you want.

Having the Service Record in paper and on the System is important.

 

If you own the car and it is a keeper then no matter, the local garage might mean they know exactly what needs doing and that might be more than any Main Dealers does, or the work they do. 

 

*3 years / 30,000 miles until the Haldex Service, ask the local garage about them doing that when the time comes.

That is something a visit to Inverness or Perth or Maud might be worth doing and getting a 2 year Parts and Labour cover.

Getting an extended warranty & it being valid on the car if a keeper does need the record of the cars servicing to Manufacturers Guidelines, Recommendations, Specification / Schedule.*
