Service information
Service type
LongLife service or service dependent on time/distance travelled?
Depending on your vehicle's technical characteristics either the LongLife
service or the service dependent on time/distance travelled will apply. If you
do not wish to have the LongLife service you can choose the service de-
pendent on time/distance travelled. Your SEAT Official Service has the most
recent information about the services and can advise you on the best type of service for your vehicle, and if there are any additional inspections it re-
quires by law. In the following pages we have compiled the most important
information about the services offered. These services are valid at the time
of printing and can be subject to further modifications for technical reasons.
How to know which type of service your vehicle requires
LongLife Service: Service dependent on time/distance travelled:
- Your vehicle has LongLife Service if the PR number “QG1” (see back) ap- pears on the vehicle data sticker and if, on ⇒ page 6, the LongLife Serv-
ice is marked with a cross. - Your vehicle has service dependent on time/distance travelled if the PR
number “QG0, QG2 or QG3 ” (see back) appears on the vehicle data sticker
and if, on ⇒  page 6, the Oil Change Service is marked with a cross.
- The Interval Service appears on the “Next Services” sticker (on the door pil- lar). - The Oil Change Service appears on the “Next Services” sticker (on the door
pillar).
- The LongLife Service is marked with a cross on ⇒ page 6. - The service dependent on time/distance travelled is marked with a cross
on ⇒  page 6.
SEAT differentiates between services with an engine oil change (e.g. Interval Service) and services without an engine oil change (e.g. Inspection Service).
The service interval display only provides information about service dates that include a change of engine oil. The dates of all other services, such as Inspec-
tion Service or brake fluid change, appear in the sticker on the door pillar.
Note
If LongLife oil is not used, the service dependent on time/distance travelled
is applied, and the oil must be changed every 15 000 km (10 000 miles) or
every year. 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

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
