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 specialised workshop 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
requires by law.
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 PR “QI6” (see reverse) and if in ⇒ page 6, LongLife Service is marked with a cross. - Your vehicle has service dependent on time/distance travelled if the PR
number PR “QI1, QI2 QI3, QI4 and QI7” (see reverse) and if in
⇒ page 6, Oil Change Service is marked with a cross.
- 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.
A difference is made in SEAT between services with an engine oil change and Inspection services with no engine oil change.
The service interval display only indicates the dates of the engine oil change and inspection services.
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.

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 Service and Oil Change, additional work
must be carried out which is dependent on the time/mileage.
● Your specialised workshop is informed of the work to be completed dur-
ing each inspection.
● We recommend that you visit a SEAT Authorised Service whenever you
require any work done on your vehicle.
● SEAT keeps its Authorised Services up-to-date on new product develop-
ments. They have tools and highly specialised personnel who can guaran-
tee the safety and performance of your vehicle.
● Scrupulously following the General Programme for Inspection Services
at the SEAT Authorised Services can help you maintain greater value for your
vehicle.

Legal Inspection Service
The legal inspections must be carried out at the intervals
prescribed.Many countries have legal requirements obliging owners to have their vehi-
cle tested at specified intervals for safety for the user and for other traffic,
as well as ensuring that vehicle exhaust emissions meet the countries' reg-
ulations. These revisions must be overseen by officially certified centres.
Your SEAT Official Service can advise of the inspections required by law, and
can check your vehicle in the course of an Inspection Service. This will save
you both time and money.
The SEAT Official Service can also carry out the inspections required by law
at the client's request.
Even if you do not wish to take advantage of this service and decide to take
your vehicle to an officially certified centre for this check, we recommend
that you speak to the manager of your SEAT Official Service first.
This person will be able to inform you of any points that require attention so
that your car does not fail the test and have to be re-tested.
Approved spare parts
Genuine SEAT spare parts are designed for your vehicle and approved by
SEAT, particularly as regards safety. The workmanship, precision of dimen-
sions and materials of these parts comply exactly with factory specifica-
tions. Genuine SEAT spare parts have been designed especially for your ve-
hicle. We therefore recommend that you always use genuine SEAT spare parts. SEAT will not be held responsible for the safety and reliability of parts
from other manufacturers.
At SEAT Authorised Service Partners you will generally find the most impor-
tant genuine SEAT parts. If a part is not in stock, it can usually be obtained
quickly.
SEAT Authorised Service Partners provide a warranty for genuine SEAT parts,
valid from the date of purchase or fitting. It is therefore advisable to retain
the original invoice from the SEAT Authorised Service Partner as proof of the
contractual warranty.
Please ask your SEAT Official Service for further information.
The genuine SEAT spare parts warranty can be submitted to
any SEAT Offi-
cial Service .
Approved SEAT exchange parts
The approved SEAT exchange parts, conforming to the manufacturer's re-
quirements, constitute an additional service at your disposal, offering you
the possibility to replace entire assemblies, the most common being: the
lightened engine, gearboxes, cylinder heads, control units, electrical ele-
ments, etc.
These are Approved parts and as such, share the same approved spare
parts warranty as the manufacturer parts.
However, these parts are considerably cheaper as they are factory-recondi-
tioned used parts. Keep the invoice for the approved SEAT exchange parts
as proof of the start of the existing warranty.
More information about this may be obtained at the SEAT Official Service.
