OK gents, Job now done.
When I booked the car in a couple of weeks ago the service guy did not know which service it required. I told him it was on flexible, had it's first service at 18k and was coming up to it's second as shown on the display. No one seemed to be sure if it was a minor at £129 or £199 or a major at £259
When I arrived this morning I spoke to another guy, who said it needed "second long life service", this I was happy with as he seemed to know what he was talking about.
A lot of newer VAG group vehicles do have variable/flexible service intervals, usually around 18k hence the use of longlife 507 oils.
My previous SEAT an
Ibiza Sport TDI had fixed servicing at 10K, I argued what was the point of the expensive longlife oil if it was changed every 10K. I was then advised that part way through 2010 build year the Ibizas could go to flexible servicing, unfortunately my car was built 3 weeks before this change so I was stuck with the fixed servicing. My previous VW Passat 2.0 TDi was flexible and was serviced at around 18k, the VW dealers had no problems with this type of service regime, it just appears to cause problems with the SEAT dealer.
Interestingly the service booklet is stamped showing the car had it's 2nd service today and the next service is due at 57500 miles or 9/5/16 which as far as I'm concerned is correct. The folder containing the docs shows next service at 45500 or 9/5/15!!!
Now I have just paid good money to a SEAT main dealer, why can't they get their documentation correct? or am I just being a bit naieve (sp)?
