Hey Braintrust

Does anyone have a document that list out various parts and jobs required to be done at every service ?

Googled but no luck as yet

What engine have you, 1.0 or a 1.5 TSI?

Which County / climate. EDIT, i see Australia, but had to look at your profile.

How used, low annual mileage or high. Fixed Annual Servicing or Variable.

Service as per your use etc.

Location matters. A pollen filter can maybe be vacuumed, and area cleaned between changes,

same with an Air Filter.

Ask the Dealership or Garage what they actually do,

what they do replace and when or check. (In Australia.)

Likely not that much really..

This chart is not accurate, Cambelt, DSG,s,. (A DQ200 DSG has no Service Interval.)

Are you in a Dust rich or dust free region? For Cambelt changes.

You pay for extras. Leaving an Air Filter unchecked for 6 years would be silly.

Inspect and replace as needed.

Pollen filter every 2 years.

Spark Plugs @ 40,000 miles or sooner.

AC maybe at 2 years maybe not.

Brake fluid at 3 years / 30,000 or some will say at 2 years, 20,000 & each 2 years, 20,000 miles.

So this is a Skoda UK type guide. Just a guide.

There's a lot more to properly servicing a car than most (modern) garages, mechanics and certainly Dealerships do. The engine is not one of the most important component or system on the car - what is it that you want to achieve?

The key thing to note is that some items are marked "maintenance" even on the UK schedule. My advice is that when you are booking the car in for service you instruct the dealer to do all the required maintenance items as well. This is particularly true if you have a "service plan". Don't assume everything that needs to get done will get done.

Hi ,

My Superb is a 1.5 Tsi auto 2019 pre facelift model.

My car has a full Skoda history ( I hope ) and has covered 37000 miles.

The car is on a fixed mileage annual service plan but has the 0W20 LL engine oil.

I wrote to Skoda UK who says an gear box oil is not recommended as the gearbox is sealed for life !

I spoke to the Skoda dealer supplier of my car and a specialist service centre who both point plank refused to service the gearbox.dq200.

I have thought about the cinero and come to the conclusion

: I you run the car up to 120000 miles and then change the gearbox mineral the following may happen.The supplying Skoda dealer I believe does not know how to do the gearbox service !

A ) Sludge will be stirred up causing issues to the ECU and possibly writing the gear box off.

B) Do nothing and pray.

C) No doubt the service regimes are for the first three years when fleet customers pay the bill or not as the case my be.

I not really happy that Skoda UK won't allow the gearbox to be serviced but no doubt refuse to pay for renewal of gear box if failure occurs.

PS They will allow the gearbox to be serviced if the car is used in a dusty environment !

Ootohere is the person with table for which DSG needs changing and when.

A couple of amusing things in your post from Škoda UK or Dealership, the "filled for life", what life, I think they give 8 years, and in the UK a warranty isn't that long - and they allow the gearbox to be serviced if used in a dusty environment, that will go against the beliefs of many.

I can't remember if it's the DSQ200 where VW come out with some *******s sorry explanation that the oil type was wrong (it's the oil that's wrong not VW's specification for that wrong oil).

Your car is out of any warranty by now I'd have thought so if you want to get the oil changed other than finding someone trustworthy to do the work correctly and properly there's nothing to stop you. Depending on your use of the car/gearbox (37k ÷ 6 = lowish annual mileage perhaps suggest short journeys and proportionately higher number of gear changes) it might be a bit early, or it might not, again Ootohere and others have experience and knowledge on DSGs (personally I've always disliked the idea from the early Aldi days onwards).

I've done oil changes on "filled for life", admittedly these cars were old but the changes were always worth while looking at the oil that came out and by how the car felt (you can feel; such things on old cars as the driver is less remote from the car than on modern cars) and drove. Only this weekend I helped change oils on a mate's 29 year old car (manual) gearbox and (rear, limited slip) diff. My mate said the diff oil was 150k-mile change, I can't remember the mileage on his car, about 50-60k-miles, if that, and he thought the diff oil had been changed before but by the state of what came out it really needed doing whether the diff oil had been changed or not. Gearbox oil no so bad but gear changes were stiff hence a needed for oil change. After test drive my mate reported that the changes were good and things sounded quieter. I used better oils that popular recommendation for the (Ford) gearbox and diff, only a few pounds more and their protection will be longer lasting so actually less expensive to use.

it is gearbox with dry clutch, no debris of clutch ever floating in oil.

so in that box is goin oil like in manual geearbox, 75w80.

changing intervals are like on manual gearbox. i changed mine after 5 yrs and 80000 kms, but its not necessary.

you can change it when timing belt set changes. 150000 kms?

they say never.

but thats is not theirs car but yours.

heres good video.
