Hi. My karoq is heading to a skoda dealer for a service next week. It was registered the last week of 2018 and has covered 61000 miles. It has been serviced at skoda on time every time apart from last year when it was serviced by the dealer I bought it from at 52k. There is nothing wrong with it, but I am wondering which gearbox it has and if it should be having a gearbox service. All I know is its 7 speed. I do tow a caravan with it which it does well using the manual mode as it hunts the gears too much left to its own devices. The car is a 1.6 dsg 2wd SEL. Thanks.

It has a DQ200 7 speed twin clutch DSG. 

Which has 2 oils and no Service Schedule, or recommendations to change the oils. 

 

Just as it was in February.

I completely forgot I had already asked and you replied! My memory ain't what it used to be. It's going to Victoria garage in Maud for its service on Thursday. I bought my previous Yeti there and got it serviced and mot there. I wasn't very happy about the mot, OK if had a broken spring which needed replacing, but they listed a heap of rust advisories, which in my opinion and the opinion of my usual mot tester weren't necessary. The karoq is due its mot shortly, but I'm going to my usual tester for that.

 

Thanks for the response, again lol

Good. Best place.  They will do the DSG oil change if you and they think necessary.  It is not really but they know best. 

£208 for an oil inspection service with extended scope. Can't argue with that. However the advice from them is all 4 tyres cracking. Front and rear brakes discs and pads required £740. Both front skocke leaking and require replacing £465. Brake fluid, pollen filter, and fuel filter advised by skoda to be changed eve0ry two years, £158. Kerching had I said just do all that then nearly £1400 plus 4 tyres to spend! I didn't get the mot done, which is due, I shall see what my usual mot man says next week. I know the front tyres are starting to perish, they are cross climates done nearly 25000miles in 3 years on my yeti then this and got 4mm left, the kormorans on the rear done the same milage, Ica9nt see pershing on them and they are at 7mm left. It won't be getting tyres this year, won't be getting brakes yet unless the mot man I trust says they are done, I may, or may not change the fuel filter and pollen filter myself for just a few quid and brake fluid can live on for now too. Roll on the mot next week to see what he says. I think going by this, and my previous experience of this garage giving my old yeti a list of advisories as long as your arm, most of them unnecessary, about 7 for surface corrosion on axles, trailing arms, springs, fuel tank straps. This is the reason they didn't do the test just now.
