LCR Servicing

[ben1413]

Hi there,

I'm new to LCR ownership but have had a few performance cars in my time and have always done my own servicing. Does anyone know where I can get a copy of the servicing intervals and what needs to be changed when? I've searched but have had no joy.

Cheers

Ben

major services are every 40k.

10k oil change
20k oil + pollen
30k oil change
40k major service

cambelt + waterpump should be done probs about 80k

to get your service stamps you need to go back to all the dealers it had been to .. even if you send a duplicate book to each dealer for a stamp

I thought cambelt, tensioners, waterpump etc should be done every 60k or 4 years, which ever comes first

correct, i'd doubt a plastic waterpump would make 80k even if the belt does

Give JKM in portsmouth a ring, they do all my servicing and will tell you what needs doing and when.

Cheers guys!

I was just having a flick through the service book - should have looked in there first really!

Just bought my LCR and it needs a service next month. Looking at the history this will be its 9th service at 82k. Cars only 7 years old so the previous owner must have been keen to get it serviced!

What type of service will i be looking at? just trying to get an idea of costs.

I've got a receipt at 67k for the timing belt being changed and the service book makes referrence to a "toothed belt" change at 67k, is this basically the cambelt? Cant see any referrence to the water pump being changed so may need this looking at. Is there any way of checking this myself?

Otherwise i'm going to have to find somewhere decent and trustworthy in the North West region to have a look at it and get it serviced. Not bothered about using SEAT dealers and would rather use an independant VAG specialist. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Cheers

Normally if they've done the cam belt then they should have done the wate pump aswell, the toothed belt could be the fan belt.
Probabley best to do oil, filters and plugs to start with.

was hoping it was just gonna need a cheap service but oh well!

Suppose it always ends up like that when you buy a new car!

I saw the the 'toothed belt' reference in my service book and i'm pretty sure it means the timing belt, as its done in my book, at the correct mileage. Can anyone else clarify this.

Following on from this thread if my car has done cambelt at around 60K

70K Oil Change & Pollen Filter
80K Full Service (Filters, Plugs, etc)
90K Oil Change & Pollen Filter

What would be due for a change on 100K?

Anybody?
