First service

[Tennis Pro]

Hi all,
I am on a 2 year lease deal and having just done my first year I'm wondering whether or not it needs a service?
According to the digital display oil change/visual inspection is not due for another 8500 miles. Should I just follow the guide of the digital display or would the lease company require a service every 12 months?
Any information much appreciated.

Personally i would do every 12 months but it depends whose paying you or the lease company

Mine was asking for an oil change after 12 months, I booked it in and dealer said it's on a 12 month service as VWFS like to do it annually.

Mines from vwfs too and is just over a year old. The car says it's due a service sometime around November do that's when it will get done

Garage called me about 1 month ago for booking a small service (mainly oil change) after 12 months so I went and did.

How much was the first service? Just wondering whether Cupra Care is worth it...

 

[ferretz]

Something like 350€

What kind of work does that 350€ come with?
Here in Denmark (where everything is usually more expensive than the rest of the world) the first service is around 200€, but that's only an oil change.
2 year service with all the filters and inspections is around 400€.

They changed (at least refilled) other liquids as well, don’t have the invoice with me. Switzerland is probably even more expensive than Denmark for such things.

Official Dealer here (Greece) told me in 15K Km or 1 year, whatever comes first. Same schedule maintenance to my Ibiza, everything went smoothly.
Whatever VW AG cars mention on the screen for service intervals, is the maximum one, no need to wait that long. Same with my sister's T-Cross.

Anyone from the UK had any prices?

As it's a lease and you wont own the car just follow the minimum required services as prompted by the cars computer.

This - do whatever the absolute cheapest way you can get it done which is approved by the lease company. Check if they allow non main dealer servicing, and if so, get it done independent. You've nothing to gain spending over the odds, especially on a 2 year deal.

My Leon Is on a 3 year lease plan and Is now nearly 18 months old. And after enquiring I was told by the lease company and by a SEAT dealer that there Isn't a set service period on when to get the service carried out. They said just to bring the car In when the service light comes on. I've checked when this will be due and It will probably be around August/September time. So that's when the car will get It's first service.

I think its £180. I purchased the 2 year service plan with the car so the first service was included anyway.

Thanks. As I'll be leasing the car, I might look into independent servicing if vwfs allow it. I did that with my old Merc and saved about £1000+ over the two years I had it.

Has anyone had any furthed experience of what the 1st and 2nd year service costs actually are in the UK?
