servicing

Hi Guys, I have had a search around for information on a 30k mile service for my 130TDi Sport but can't seem to find anything. So far I have had one garage tell me it is a full service and another say it was an intermediate.... Can anyone clarify? Also does anyone know what gets...

I have been an avid reader of this forum for quite a while but have never posted until now. i phoned sidlow up today to book in my 51 plate Cupra in for its service, its currently at 58.5K miles so i knew it would most likely need a cam belt change so i knew it would be more pricey, but i had...

Had my yearly service done today, Oil/filter, checkover, pollen filter changed, and oddly the centre box mount needed welding :confused: Anyhoo.... I was quoted £170-200, I got away lightly only paid £134 :D:D Excellent tax & insurance due end of month, thats another £500 smackers down...

My FR is due its 20K service, do I need to go to the stealers or can I use the local garage and still keep the warranty???

Good Morning Peeps, We have just looking at our first DIY service on our 1.2 (AZQ) Mk4 Ibiza and have come across some issues we hope you folks can shed some light on. Firstly local stockists (inc Halfords) do not seem to stock the air filter and spark plugs as standard - but these are not...

Going to be servicing my cupra sport soon after it gets MOT'd Its just hit 54k miles, and i cant find my haynes manual to tell me what needs doing.. so far im going to do: air filter (green panel filter - or anyone recommend a better alternative panel?) spark plugs oil and filter change...

Guys, I'm thinking having my car serviced (lcr 40k) by westec in newport as they are closer than my nearest stealer. Has anyone had any experience with them? what are they like?

My 02/52 TDI SE was due the annual inspection service and also required a brake fluid change, front discs and pads and cabin filter. So thinking Skoda might be a bit cheaper than SEAT I had an estimate for the service at my local Skoda dealer. Approximately £450 I was quoted for that...

Hi there, Its time for a service and MOT :cry:. I have been quoted £315.00 by seat to do this and £200.00 by my local vauxhall franchise. What are the advantages with paying extra with seat other than the "SEAT" stamp in service history? Regards Dan

Has anyone else seen this? I'd covered 8700 miles when my MFD showed a spanner and 700 miles when I turned the key in the ignition. My hand book said it meant needed my 1st service at 9400 miles. Hello? I thought it was supposed to be service every 10K miles? Rang my dealer who said it...

Hi all. I would post this in the Servicing Section but no one seems to visit that and it looks like a graveyard to me.:( Anyways, I have read enough topics to see that most SEAT dealers seem to be incompetent, overcharge and generally rude or haven't a clue so when I come to purchase my...

Hi All, Sorry to be covering this issue again as I've seen it covered many times before. When I did a search I saw that people were paying around 80-120 pounds for the first service, I have a Leon Sport 2L TDi that's coming up to its first year service at the end of may. I've done 4400 miles...

Need a 40k service on by cupra TDI. Used to go to Arnold Clarke but they seem to have gone. Where do merseysiders go for a Seat service? Anyone tried the Liverpool Alex lawrie Skoda dealer. Cheers

bought an ibiza cupra last week, its has the delivery service when new, the next stamp is at 26700 miles!!! wish i knew this before i bought it, when shall i next service it?

I have done a search but cannot find the answer as to difference in servicing costs on a Petrol vs Diesel. Surprisingsly, the couple of quotes I have received so far, the Diesel FR costs more to insure than the petrol, but only by difference in road tax so no problem there really. As I...

can anyone tell me if its possible to swap my partners 1.4tdi from a short to a long life service. She currently does 20-25000 mile a year so bigger service intervals would help. However whats the price hike for long life services and will it have any detrimental effects?

Just booked my beloved Ibiza in for it's 20K service. £225 for that. No problem. Then the nice lady they told me it'll be due a Brake Fluid change, and this will cost me an extra £55. So, £280 for a 20K service? Bloody hell, seems a bit steep to me... I have a facelift 1.9 TDI FR...

HI All, I basically want to start to learn to do my own servicing. I can change the oil, oil filter, air panel at the back right of the engine compartment. How can I find the fuel filter? Is this easy to change? Also are there any more filters etc that need doing? Any advice is very...

Hi Guys n Gals, Just a quickone - What, in your opinio should be done on a 30k service? I refuse to trust any of the seat dealers around the midlands - unless anyone has a recommmendation of a dealer or speacialist? What oil shoul my standard LC be running on? Air filter + pollen...

Just had my car being serviced today for the 1st year with approx 7000 miles on it. Had some probs with the turbo boost coming in and out when under load, but they are not looking at it cuz it has an induction kit on. Is this true?? And also my fog light surrounds were flaking their paint off...
