Cupra 280 DSG 41,000m service?

[MIKEDAVIDN]

Does anyone know what needs carrying out on my 2015 cupra, 41K service?
My dealer (JTC600) didn’t have a clue when I mention things like does it need spark plugs changing, front diff oil, DSG oil chang etc, any advice welcome.

Thanks, I’ll have a read through.

welcome and if you have any question please shout, you are correct Garages have no idea even so called Seat Main Dealers.

Spark plugs, DSG oil and LSD oil should be changed. It won’t be cheap if you get it done at a main dealer.

I’ve been in your position recently, you’ll find out more on here than you will at a main dealer!

Had mine done a couple weeks back at 37k exactly as Blowski has said I also had brake fluid changed aswell as usual major service, dsg service and LSD service for £670

Spark plugs at 41k miles.. Really?
I thought these new plugs were good for at least 100k....

Service recommendation is 60 thousand km's so around 40k miles. On the 280 anyway, not sure about other models

I was a year and 12k miles late too, thanks to my garage

I'll give the plugs a once over then worry if I have too.

Looking at the air filter, it says 90km or 6 years... Damn, my filter would be black and solid after that amount of time... Lol...

Just looking at gearbox oil now. I know some have a wet clutch system so oil and filter need doing, but I believe mine is a dry clutch system. So hopefully a bit longer between oil changes..

On a side note does one have to acquire this special tool to remove the ignition coil?

Or is this only to ensure removing the coil straight up and not at an angle to possibly break it.

If so would this mean a dealership has to replace the plugs...

Sorry I don't mean to hijack this thread. Just got carried away.

I'm exactly the same mileage as you and have had prices from to vag specialists one was £648 and other £580.

Attached is what the price includes

It's just a star driver.

Get the coilpacks warm (run engine) undo star driver and pull them straight up.

I was quoted $NZ1100 for the 4 year service. About 550 of your pounds.

This seems about right. All in including VAT I paid £206 for DSG service, £87 for spark plugs about £110 for LSD.

All done at seat dealership.

Millers Nano Drive 5w40 Engine Oil

Did you ask for Millers or provide your own? I do my own servicing because I don't want some cheapo oil.

I have paid the difference for the nanodrive and Rs7 spark plugs. Stage 1....
