SEAT maintenance programme7
SEAT maintenance programmeGeneral informationTo ensure that you have each service carrie d out on time and that none are 
forgotten, there is a reminder sticker on the dr iver side door pillar and a 
reminder will also be shown via the serv ice interval display on the instrument 
panel.
The service intervals quoted are for vehicles  used under normal operating 
conditions .
However, if the vehicle is used in  adverse conditions, it may require work 
before the next established service interval or ev en between service inter-
vals.
Adverse conditions include:•the use of fuel with a high sulphur content•frequent short journeys•leaving the engine idling for long periods o f time (as occurs with taxis)•driving on dusty roads or in dusty areas•frequently using the vehicle for towing•mainly driving in the city, in heavy traffic whe re it is necessary to continu-
ously brake and start, and•using the vehicle mainly in the winter
This particularly affects:•the air filter•the timing belt•the engine oil and•the diesel particulate filter In some countries diesel fuel has a high sulp
hur content; in these cases the 
oil and the fuel filter should be changed every 7,5 00 km (5,000 miles). Your 
Official SEAT Service will be able to tell y ou which countries have diesel with 
a high sulphur content.
The service advisor at your Official SEA T Service will advise you on the need 
to carry out additional work on your vehicle, t aking into account the usage 
conditions of the vehicle.
A list of the work to be carried out at th e SEAT services is given on the 
following pages. These services are valid at  the time of printing and can be 
subject to further modifications for technical reaso ns. Your Official SEAT 
Service always has the latest available  information and will be able to tell 
you if your vehicle requires any other additio nal inspections established by 
law.
The cost of the SEAT service may vary, depen ding on the vehicle type, equip-
ment fitted, additional work and statutory inspec tions. Your Official SEAT 
Service will tell you how much the SEAT se rvice will cost (labour and parts).
