Information about the ŠKODA service
The Service Interval Display in the instrument cluster will remind you to carry out
every service stipulated by the manufacturer at the right time, in order to avoid
forgetting any.
A timely and adequate performance of servicing works is one of the requirements
for the settlement of possible warranty claims.
The completion of services can be verified through the confirmed service certifi-
cation and the respective receipts.
The service intervals are matched to normal operating conditions.
In case of difficult operating conditions, it is necessary to have some servicing
work performed before the date of the next service or between the service inter-
vals stated. This applies mainly to the cleaning or the replacement of the air filter
insert in regions with heavy dust pollution as well as checking and replacing the
toothed belt, but also vehicles with diesel particle filter which can use the engine
oil more intensely.
These severe conditions are:
›
Fuel containing sulphur
›
Frequent short trips
›
Longer idling mode of the engine (e.g. taxi vehicles)
›
Operation in areas with heavy dust pollution
›
Frequent trailer operation
›
Predominantly stop-and-go traffic as tends to occur in city driving, for example
›
Operation predominantly during winter.
A service consultant at the specialist garage will tell you whether the operating
conditions of your vehicle make it necessary for such work to be carried out be-
tween the normal service intervals.
Different service charges may apply, depending on the scope of necessary works
as well as the model, features and condition of your vehicle.
Note
The customer is responsible for covering the cost of all services including
■
changing or replenishing the operating fluid, even during the warranty period, un-
less the ŠKODA AUTO a.s. warranty terms or other agreements state otherwise.
