Flexible servicing

[leonfr89]

Afternoon all,

Just made the jump from a Leon FR to a cupra leon V1 1.5

Just curious about whether to trust the new longlife servicing. I will be doing at least 130 miles a week of motorway driving with only the odd trip in between for shopping etc. has anyone had issues following this servicing schedule? I'm.debatingnwhether to drop back to a fixed interval jobby at the next look. I do around 10k a year.

Flexible servicing has been around for years and only caused issues when not followed.
If you're concerned then just revert back to fixed.

I always just revert back to fixed servicing as I'm old(ISH) and that's the way I've always serviced cars.

Flexible is aimed at fleet management, only one service before disposal reduces costs and admin, gives an advantage over other brands.

I've never had a problem with it, even when I kept one VAG car for nine years. But, if I was intending to keep a car for its lifetime, then I'd probably go fixed from the start to minimise running on two year old oil and filter.

I am also of this camp, service every year, you know it makes sense.
