Service information
Importance of the Maintenance Programme
The Maintenance Programme confirms the date of delivery
of your vehicle and thus the beginning of its warranty cover.
The vehicle data that appears in the Maintenance Programme guarantees
that the appropriate Genuine SEAT ®
Parts are installed. This data helps en-
sure that your car can be repaired without difficulty even after many years of
use.
The Maintenance Programme also informs you of which service should be
carried out when, and the work this entails.
Your SEAT Official Service will note down in this booklet the services carried
out.
Your Maintenance Programme should be kept in the vehicle with the on-
board documentation so that it is at hand whenever you need it.
Please remember to give the Maintenance Programme to the new owner if
you sell your car.
The SEAT Service Centre network is equipped with modern workshop tech-
nology and well-trained specialists. Many SEAT Service Centres offer differ-
ent service packages at special prices Ð
Safety notes
All fluids and consumables , such as timing belts, tyres, coolant liquid, en-
gine oil, spark plugs and vehicle batteries are continuously being devel-
oped. Therefore, we recommend you take the vehicle to a specialised work-
shop to have fluids or consumables changed. The SEAT Official Services re-
ceive regular up-to-date information about modifications. This is why SEAT
recommends you have fluids and other consumables replaced by a SEAT Of-
ficial Service. Unless the vehicle is regularly and correctly serviced as required in the serv-
ice plan, the vehicle could breakdown while driving, leading to serious acci-
dent and injury.
● Service work is carried out according to the Maintenance Programme at
a specialised workshop.
● Please observe the instructions for use.
Note
● Only use suitable fluids. Fluids should never be mixed up. This could re-
sult in serious faults and engine damage.
● SEAT is not responsible for damage to the vehicle as a result of the use
of poor quality fuel, inadequate servicing or non-availability of original
spare parts.
● Spilt brake fluid may pollute the environment. If fluids leak or are spilt,
they should be collected and disposed of accordingly.
● Regular servicing of your vehicle not only helps to ensure it remains in
good working order but also contributes to road safety. Therefore, we rec-
ommend work is carried out in accordance with the Maintenance Pro-
gramme. Ð

Service intervals General information
To ensure that you have each service carried out on time and that none are
forgotten, there is a reminder sticker on the driver side door pillar and a re-
minder will also be shown via the service 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 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 of 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 where it is necessary to contin-
uously 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 sulphur content; in these cases the
fuel filter and the oil should be changed every 7500 km (5000 miles)
⇒ page 9. Your SEAT Official Service will be able to tell you which coun-
tries have diesel with a high sulphur content.
The service advisor at your SEAT Official Service will advise you on the need
to carry out additional work on your vehicle, taking into account the usage
conditions of the vehicle.
In the following pages, we have compiled the jobs that must be carried out.
These services are valid at the time of printing and can be subject to further
modifications for technical reasons. Your SEAT Official Service always has
the latest available information and will be able to tell you if your vehicle
requires any other additional inspections established by law.
The cost of the SEAT service may vary, depending on the vehicle type,
equipment fitted, additional work and statutory inspections. Your SEAT Offi-
cial Service will tell you how much the SEAT service will cost (labour and
parts). Ð

diesel with a high sulphur content.
c) Whichever comes first.
Please see the oil specifications given in the Instruction Manual.
In ⇒ page 10, General Service Programme you will find the work corre-
sponding to each service.
LongLife Service
Thanks to the technology used at SEAT, with the LongLife Service, an Inter-
val Service only has to be carried out when it is necessary.
The length of the service intervals is also determined by factors such as
conditions under which the vehicle is used and personal driving style.
If LongLife engine oil is not used, the service dependent 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 reprogram the vehicle to the service dependent on time/distance trav-
elled
Note
In addition to the Inspection and Interval Services, additional work should
be carried out according to the time/distance travelled ⇒ page 12.Ð
12General Service Programme
● Coil spring (suspension) and bump stop, front and rear: visual check for
damage
● The date of the next service is entered on the service sticker which is at-
tached to the driver side door pillar
● Check the play, fastening and boots of the track rods and the front and
rear axle bearings.
● Lubricate door arresters
● Inspected the underside protection for damage.
Note
● It may be more convenient, taking the individual usage conditions of
your vehicle into account, to have certain scopes of the interval service in-
spection done earlier or at a later, separate date. The service advisor at your
SEAT Official Service will advise you accordingly.
● The engine type determines toothed belt replacement intervals. For
more information on the replacement of the toothed belt, check the chapter
on additional tasks. The service advisor at your SEAT Official Service will ad-
vise you accordingly. Ð
Additional tasks
In addition to the Inspection Service, additional maintenance jobs may have
to be carried out, depending on the conditions in which your vehicle is used
and on the equipment carried. This additional work should be carried out in
accordance with time/distance travelled to ensure your vehicle remains reli-
able. Your SEAT Official Service will provide detailed information about the
additional work that may be necessary. This can be done independently of
the obligatory services, taking into account the notes on the Maintenance Programme (or the label: Next service). Your SEAT Official Services will be
happy to advise you and quote the prices for this additional work. Addition-
al jobs completed are marked on the workshop sheet with the receipt. Ð
Every 7500 km (5000 miles)
● Replace the fuel filter in TDI ®

Warranty
Warranty Fault-free operation warranty
SEAT Official Services provide a warranty for the fault-free operation of SEAT
vehicles new from the factory. Consult your sales contract, or complimentary
or additional documentation provided by your Technical Service where the
details of the warranty conditions and the warranty period are accredited.
Please ask your SEAT Official Service for further information.
We hope that it is understood that natural wear as well as damage caused
by the abuse of vehicle performance through inappropriate use or by unac-
ceptable modifications are excluded from the warranty. The warranty is also
invalid when the vehicle is damaged by the use of parts and accessories
that are not SEAT approved or damage due to ignoring the maintenance and
repair requirements. Ð
Paintwork and body warranty
SEAT Official Services provide a warranty that covers the
paintwork and bodies of all vehicles purchased from them.
In addition to the warranty conditions for brand new SEAT vehicles (as de-
tailed in the purchase contract, or complimentary or additional documenta-
tion), a defined period warranty is also provided covering paintwork and
body rusting:
● The additional warranty on paint faults covers the first 3 years following
delivery
● Covered against perforation rusting on the body during the first 12 years
following delivery. However, should this type of damage occur, it will be repaired free of charge
for parts and labour by any SEAT Official Service.
Warranty claims will not be accepted in the following circumstances:
● if damage is caused by external influence or carelessness, or
● if the damage to the body or the paint has not been repaired in accord-
ance with the manufacturer-defined requirements, or
● if perforation rusting was caused by the failure to carry out repairs in ac-
cordance with the manufacturer's instructions.
If the body is repaired or painted, your Technical Service will certify your
warranty against perforation rusting for the repaired sections. Ð
