30k Service

[Chaz]

Ok, my car is coming up for its 30k service (Leon Cupra).

Does anyone know if the brake fluid is changed at this service? If so, should I be suggesting what fluid to use? As for the oil, am guessing that I want to use a fully synthetic oil.

Cheers

Cupra goes with fully synthetic - for example

Other than ringing the dealer or reading my manual then i cant help on the other areas..

Brake Fluid should be changed every 2 years, so in theory it should have been done last year, probably at the 20K service - check your service schedule. If its not been done then it should be, DOT 4 standard.

Oil does not have to be fully synthetic, as long as the oil matches the relevant VW standard you will be fine (on petrol cars some multigrades are good enough). However as mister c implies most people here would recommend fully synthetic for a Cupra

just booked my car in and the brake fluid was done last year...

Asked for fully synthetic oil as well...
