Hi everyone

Wondering also what costs are involved.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the quick reply!

So was it more just a check up then?

No oil change or anything?

[Kachingg]

Yeah just a check over is all

Also give you an opportunity to have any immediate concerns addressed.

The whole thing isn't endorsed by Skoda, but it.comes.out of the dealers pocket.

Correct - tis a dealer thing, not a Skoda thing.
Skoda Canberra don't offer it.

If you ask for it during the contract stage, you can get some extra stuff, but its prob in the price of the car....

I had a 'free' oil and filter at 1500km as per contract, along with a 'free' compression test from New (10km) and 1500km.

I was poised to take mine in for the advertised 1 month +/- 1000km check and was advised over the phone it wasn't necessary and was a mistake.
I was advised that they had changed the oil and filter...

No issues so far.

We do a 3,000km check as a courtesy for the customer. Not necessary, nor required by Skoda (a lot of running in is done at the factory anyway) but its just one of those little things.
It gives you a chance to point at things and say "it doesn't work" or "this smells funny" or "what does this button even do?!" etc.

Yeah neither dealer I have had here in Melbourne did it. I even asked why there wasn't one when I got my first Skoda and they said don't change the oil until 12mths/15k as it's better to leave the run in oil there.

Not such thing as running in oil in the vag cars.
I've always changed oil in our cars at 1500km and then every 5,000-7,500km. we have on problems with our engines no oil leaks etc.

So, no it's not better to leave the factory oil in the engine, because in 12 months when it gets drained it will be at least 18months old. I even had an older man who bought his Yeti brand new but almost 24 months old, that engine tasted new oil 3 years after the car was made.

I had no issues either, that car is with my parents now at 9 yrs old. My Mk3 was 3mths old when I got it and seeing as it did nothing in that time until I drove it and in other countries that oil is made to last well beyond the schedules here I'm ok with waiting until the 12mth mark. Always each to their own, but the oil these days is quite different to not even 10 yrs back. If they run in them mostly too, you wouldn't be expecting iron filings floating about as much. If I did track days it would be entirely different.

Yes, today's oils are different, they protect the environment first.

Would you advise a early change of oil for the new 135kw tdi?
i have been told various things by different people its a long term ownership car (my baby now my real one is 19 lol) so i don't mind if it's the right thing to do
It's going in soon to get a brake upgrade to golf r brake calipers and aftermarket pads and rotors i can get the change done then at same time it will have about 3000klm on it

Thanks

Absolutely. Today's TDI engine run more EGR than ever before, more regenerations. I change engine oil and oil filter before summer and before winter. The engine oil in engine oxidase from the day it's put in the engine, unlike the oils in the transmissions which are better sealed.
