Hi,
Surprised to see the note about changing the fuel filter 'if using bio-diesel'. Mine has a sticker inside the fuel filler flap saying BioDiesel with a red NO line through it.
BTW, I suppose the mileage for servicing is fairly flexible: I'd done another 1000 miles between alerting the dealer and them having a slot for the service.

I was told that the servicing can be done about 500 miles either side of the recommended milage.
Another note for the OP.
You may have to take it in again soon (3-4 months) for brake fluid check/change and A/C recharge.
I had my 2nd service in Jan and a sticker is on my windscreen reminding me of the work. I'm taking it in next week for the extra work. About £120 all in I reckon.

Hi Andy,
How old is your car - I would have expected 3 years before the brake fluid needed refreshing, and A/C recharge only dependent on A/C performance?
BTW, don't places like KwikFit do A/C recharge? Might be more cost effective than a dealer.
Two years old.
I think it's one of those whichever comes sooner. It's not done loads of miles though, about 22'000.
The price of the A\C recharge equates to the same as Halfords et al. About £40ish. Not sure how much Kwik-fit are but I wouldn't touch them with yours! lol
I'm not gonna take any chances with the brakes. TBH, you just take the advice on good faith. So far I have had excellent service from Barlows and I've no reason to doubt there word.
All in all, I'm gonna get the work done by Seat and this will continue the nice dealer stamps in my Handbook
Cheers
