Skoda UK FAQs:
Question:
How frequently should I get my car serviced?
Answer:
The service requirements will vary depending upon the model and engine. Fabia Models require a lubrication service at 10,000 miles and an inspection at 20,000 miles or 12 months whichever is sooner. All Octavia and Superb Models can operate on either a fixed or a variable servicing regime. On Variable servicing, intervalls are determined by driving styles and conditions of use. The on-board computer will indicate when a service is required which could be up to approx. 20,000 miles for petrol engines, 30,000 miles for 4 cylinder diesel and 24,000 miles for V6 Diesel. Further information may be found in the Service Schedule contained within the vehicle document wallet or by contacting your local retailer. To find your local retailer please select the retailer locator tab from the home page of this site.
NB: The FAQ should have mentioned that variable servicing has a time limitation as well as a mileage one. To quote the Octavia Service Schedule:
The variable Service Interval Display provides you with an automatic reminder of the correct moment for the next service. You must take your vehicle to a regular inspection no later than after 2 years or after not more than 30,000 km in the case of petrol engines and not more than 50,000 km in the case of diesel engines.
N.b. my car is set to fixed servicing which I prefer to variable servicing.
