Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI - Service schedule at 40k - GtDane

No service schedule is provided with the car; so what is recommended at 40k+ apart from simple oil/filter change?

Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI - Service schedule at 40k - Big John

On my 2014 Superb my 40k service record listed :-

  • Full inspection with oil change
  • Dust and pollen filter
  • Spark plugs
  • Air cleaner

I also had the brake fluid changed but that was because of time - 3 years for the first change

There are two versions of the Yeti 1.2, the earlier one(EA111 engine) is cam chain (worth checking it has the latest revision of tensioner/chain) and the later one post mid 2015 (EA211 engine) has a cam belt (I think 80k miles/5 years change interval)

I don't think the 1.2 Yeti ever had 4x4 where the Haldex coupling has a (STRICT!!)40k oil/filter change interval

I really wouldn't take much notice of the recommendations, because that's all they are. Applying common sense is far more important. Many car manufacturers say their car will go 20,000, 30,000 miles or whatever between services, but in reality none of us use our car in ideal conditions which makes the service recommendations meaningless.

You don't say what age your car is, but if it covers average annual mileage it has to be around four years old. Older if it's a low mileage car, and if it is then regular oil and filter changes are even more important.

Changing the engine oil and filter should really be done at least once a year, and the fuel filter, air filter and spark plugs changed annually. Nothing apart from the cost of the parts is to be gained by not doing it, but if you saw the mess that can be done by running the engine in old oil for too long you'll realise it's worth spending a few quid to keep it in good condition and running well.

Thanks both. Car is from 3/2015 and now on 44k; and I have always changed oil/filter each year/10k... Obtained svc history from dealer which shows brake fluid chgd at 4 yrs, dust/air - but not fuel- filters and plugs at 37k. Will check on cam/chain which may soon need attention. Happy motoring ...
