Has anyone got a list of what is carried out in each service for the Cupra?

[Al]

Specifically, I need to know whats on the 30,000 mile service. Been quoted £205 from SEAT and £100 from VW for a 30k service.

It would be handy to know whats in each service if someone has a handly clicky link for each service though.

Ta,

Horace

Looks like a basic service

A Minor or Basic Service would typically include the items below

A typical Basic Service would include the items below

• > Oil & Oil Filter Change
• > Pollen Filter
• > Screen Wash & Washer bottle top up
• > Level checks of oil, anti freeze, P.A.S fluid etc
• > Tyre condition & limit checks
• > All lights checked & bulbs replaced if required
• > Wiper blades condition checked
• > Vehicle safety check (Seat belts etc) and general mechanical condition.

Looks like a lot of checking, and not a lot of doing for £205

Thanks mate. Seems that the service can vary by as much as £85, even between SEAT garages after a quick check.

The might have included a brake fluid change as well into that price... But you may have done that already?

 

[Al]

Yip. Brake fluid is in the 20k service. Seems that either the oil or the 20 mins labour to do it is very expensive at the local dealer. They even charge a premium price for the Cupra over the TFSi for the same service.

for anyone that is able to check oil / fluid levels themselves, the basic service is very little for the money.

Whatever you do, dont assume the brake fluid change is included in the price just because its on a shedule somewhere. Many garages do not include this unless specifically asked to do it as then they can quote more competitive pricing.

 

[Al]

You are correct. I paid extra to have the brake fluid done at the last service, and it was still cheaper than the 20k service from SEAT without the brake fluid change. Snag is I have a VW main dealer stamp rather than a SEAT one, but that really should make no difference as they use the same oil and parts.

I have to say the prices VW quote round here are way cheaper than seat. I would have the same concerns, as in would it be a like for like service.
