I thought I finally understood the service regime on my Leon (see http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=406409 from a few months ago), but now I'm more confused than ever! Ant, you were very helpful last time - if you (or anyone else in the know) could clarify / advise me now I'd be really grateful.
My car is now 15 months old, with 8100 miles on the clock. It is on the Longlife (variable) setup. The service display has just started to show up, saying that there are only 11 days / 4500 miles left until the 'Oil change service'. The display also shows that the'Inspection service' is due in 10,500 miles / 256 days (i.e. 8 and a half months times).
I have called three Seat dealerships and they have all quoted the same price of £169 for a 'first service'. When I explain to them that I am on the longlife regime and it is an oil change only service NOT an inspection service (as described in the service booklet and the above thread) they tell me it doesn't work like this, and the cost is standard which includes oil change and various checks.
This has left me lost to know what to do. In short, the dealers are telling me something completely different to the instructions in the service book.
