Long life servicing is for cars that do higher mileage (over 10k). You get it serviced every 20k miles or a year, whichever is first.
Some people say its no good for the car etc etc.
Some cars are set to long life from factory, some aren't. Apparently cars that can go on long life have different codes or something. If you ring SEAT UK they'll be able to tell you. Mine was long life from factory and the previous owner switched it in July last year to standard servicing, but the lady said I can have it put back to long life.
Better not be, going to collect it in a min.
Ahhhh right, yeah I'm only doing like 5 to 7k miles a year
Well arrived at seat after getting a text to collect my car, told they forgot to do the file filter so have to wait another 20mins. At least they didn't wash it!
Long life servicing only works if your not doing a lot of short journeys. Like if you only live 3-5 miles from work or just pop to the shops a couple of miles away. The long life oil will need changed just as frequently as the standard oil if this is your driving/journey characteristics. One thing that I noticed for my audi 1.8t is that the long life oil recommended for it is recommended for ordinary usage for the likes of the s3 and bi turbo rs4.

I do 30,000 a year and CAN'T change to variable.
Feel sorry for me
Jeez. If I did that many I would do it my self and save some $$$. If you sell it with loads of miles on I don't think the trade in value would change much with a dealer service history.
Mines back on the road again and better than ever
new timing chain and a few other related parts got changed, and its driving like a brand new car! amazed at the difference

Unfortunately it would seem that this little guy got stuck between the bottom of the bumper and the splitter

Car pasted its first ever MOT today with only 2 advisories, both being low wear on the front tyres well chuffed.
well chuffed.
Thankfully Alan had the big vwr brakes on for a while so the standard times were in good condition when they went back on lol.
Yea back to standard. The vwr ones were totally overkill for me tbh. I don't drive the car that hard to get full use out of them lol. The standard ones are bloody good as is.
