What am I looking for?: 

- Maintenance & service intervals for the beneath mentioned car and it's parts

 

What car?:

- Skoda Octavia Ambiente Combi

- 1.4 TSI 122/200

- 2012

 

What have I found?: 

The owners manual which gives the following insights;

- 95/98 Oktan only

- Oil change every 15.000km OR 1 year

- Battery change every 5 years (unless the indicator has no color OR light yellow - change immediately)

- Air filter change every 30.000km

- Fuel filter change every 90.000km

- Spark plug change every 90.000km

- Wheel change every 10.000km

 

Now as you can see there is quite a few things missing, and although I tried googling it it's tough to get more information than that. 

 

Do some of you have a list or the like that gives an overview over; change x-part at x-kilometers OR after x-years?

 

Why do I need it?: 

- To be able to have an understanding of the cars maintenance requirements & to use cross references when checking the paperwork. 

 

Thanks in advance

First one I noticed is timing belt. I do mine every 50000 miles or 5 years. If its anything like the 1.9tdi do the water pump at the same time.

Thanks! Doesn't the MkII have a chain and the MkIII the belt? 

• Brake fluid change - I think every 4 years.
• Check/Change coolant
• Aircon recharge - Every 2 years
• Oil filter replace - When doing the oil change.
• Cabin filter
• Car alarm replace - I think every 7 years.
• Serpentine belt - If you have one.

If not in the UK then an annual MOT style check.

 

Brake fluid first at 3 years and then each 2 if doing it.

Pollen filter every 2 years.    AC Recharge, if needed, not every 2 years.

 

Car Alarm Siren Battery was @ 5 years, they can last 10 years or more.

 

Spark plugs every 4 years / 40,000 miles,  If you are doing them.

Check the Air Filter every year. 

 

*The cam belt is nothing like with a diesel nor is the water pump, Non Dust Countries were not 5 years / 50,000 miles other than VW / Skoda UK said they were. 

Timing chains might last a life time, the tensioners might not.  Actually if the break that is the engines life ended.

Top is what Skoda had servicing showing as up til 2019.

Sorry was thinking of the 1.6 diesel. I think your right mk2 chain mk3 belt.
