Hi everyone, got the L&K diesel 73 plate, Jan 24, only 15k mls. Just had 2nd service on Skoda plan, essentially oil change. Looking at planning service and wanted to see the actual service schedule Skoda recommend. I have oil chaned twice yearly due to mileage. Occasionally do motorway run to clear dpf. Does anyone have service schedule as dealer is suggesting Haldex oil & brake fluid change which at the mileage is ridiculous.

Hi,

Service plan says :

• Oil and filter change every 30000 km (if LL oil, every 15000 otherwise)

• Cabin filter + wipers every 30000 km

• Fuel and air filters every 90000 km

• DSG oil replacement every 120000 km (if DSG7, every 60000km if DSG6)

• Brake fluid replacement every 2 years

• Haldex oil replacement every 3 years

IMHO Haldex oil replacement should rather be related to mileage (every 45000km sounds a correct period) and Haldex pump should be cleaned at the same time, though this is not mentioned at all on Workshop manuals.

Brake fluid is time related because there is a risk it may lose its properties if water (humidity indeed) mixes with the brake fluid, which could cause sponge effect on brake pedal if brake fluid temperature exceeds 100°C. No need to explain what could be the consequences.

In your case, brake fluid replacement would be a clever decision. Haldex oil replacement could seem a bit early considering your Kodiaq's mileage, but since it's about to be 3 y.o. there could be a warranty issue if not done. It then depends if you have all services done by an official dealer or if you're a DIYer who plans to make most of the service operations once warranty is over.

Thank you for this. I’ve read responses about erwin skoda schedule and states things like, lubricate sunroof mech & check sunroof drainage, which seems v relevant to me as mine has the opening s/roof. I’ve tried to get into Skoda erwin but they’ve stopped accepting individuals to membership. As my next service is £500 I would expect the erwin schedule but I know they’ll look at me gone out if I say please do the erwin schedule.
