SEAT maintenance programmeService intervalsGeneral 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 int erval or even 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
fuel filter and the oil should be changed every 7 ,500 km (5,000 miles)
⇒ page 8. Your Official SEAT Service will b e able to tell you which countries
have diesel with a high sulphur content.
The service advisor at your Official SEAT Ser vice 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 the 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 in formation 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 statutor y inspections. Your Official SEAT
Service will tell you how much the SEAT serv ice will cost (labour and parts).

LongLife Service
Thanks to the technology used at SEAT, with the LongLife Service, an Interval
Service only has to be carried out when it is necessary.
The length of the service intervals is also deter mined by factors such as
conditions under which the vehicle is used and personal driving style.
If LongLife engine oil is not used, the service depende nt on time/distance
travelled then applies . In this case, an oil change service will have to be carried out every 15,000 km (10,000 miles)
or every year. This also applies
if you reprogramme the vehicle to the ser vice dependent on time/distance
travelled
Note
In addition to the Inspection and Interval Se rvices, additional work should be
carried out according to the time/distance trav elled ⇒page 11.
