Skoda Running costs

[TaviaRS]

I've noticed in the past that people ask about the running costs for various models, so I thought I'd try and create a thread where the info could be stored in one place.

Please add as much detailed info as you can.......

[TaviaRS]

Had mine for 32 months, did 138k miles in it.

Fuel economy; motorways cuising at 80-85 indicated, I'd get about 38mpg, A roads about 35, brisk driving on A roads about 30-32, trackdays about 12 and the Ring about 8-10 mpg.

Servicing costs: You can either go variable servicing or fixed 10k servicing. I went 10k due to my mileage and needing to know when it would need a service. Costs were:

10k =

This is based on a friend

Ooooh , nice idea.

My 1.9 tdi elegance (110bhp) is about to go , so over 3 years and 80000 miles I paid out the following

10k - £90

20k - £230

30k - £90

40k - £260

50k - £90

60k - £240 including free cambelt change (Would have been £250)

70k - £90k

4 new tyres , fronts at 40k rears at 60k - £360

Brake pads - £22

Warranty fixes were an air vent and a switch on the clutch pedal

Fuel consumption averaged at 52mpg which is about 7000 litres of diesel. At a rough average of 90p a litre that was £6300

Depreciation was £8k , so my 80000 miles cost me in total £15772

Is it a 110?

[Dr Zoidberg]

Nice one John, thanks.

[octav.ed]

just paid £180 for 2nd service,brake fluid and that [3rd oil change] but thats a fixed service so oil a lot cheaper and no air filter [green 1] [john mulholland. Ulster. ]

[TaviaRS]

:bump:

So we can get some more numbers.....

[faboka vrs]

planning on updating mine soon. Just need to dig out all the records.

[sparky2]

Its cheaper to service the car yourself and look after your own baby if competant as most servicing is oil and filters.

[bryand]

'04 Fabia vRS over 60K miles:

Oilman supplies oil cheaper than my dealer, so I supply the oil for services.

February 05 – 10K service

Motorline in Canterbury are qouting me 336.00 for a 20,000 mile service on my two year old Furby Vrs!

Absolute robbery - I have found cheaper already - hope your listening:D

[W-TRON]

I would say a mark 1 OCT VRS is not bad on fuel:

Around town your lucky or very light footed to get in the 20's

On a motoway 35 is average

Not bad for a turbo i guess
