Going from fixed to variable servicing?
12 January 2012 - 22:17
I hate repetition of questions in this place, and am sure i've seen this asked before but i can't for the life of me remember the answer nor find it via. search
Question relates to a used mk2. Skoda Octavia vRS Diesel (2011)
Can the service interval be changed from Fixed to Variable? I know you can go the other way around but I always (incorrectly?) thought that once you'd gone to Fixed, you couldn't go back.
Thanks in advance guys :) -
6 weeks out of warranty... so i get flashing glow plugs :(
24 October 2011 - 22:12
This is the first Skoda i've ever kept till it's gone outside of warranty, and it looks like its letting me down. Thoroughly disappointed. I've had a read through here, so to be fair, I know its likely to be:
1) an exhaust sensor that's goosed
2) the glow plugs that have gone
3) or a brake light / switch issue
4) (anything else????)
My problem seems to be intermittent though - the light came on 3 times on my way home tonight (on the last 10 minute stretch of my journey), and each time for no more than 15 seconds
I've already had an exhaust sensor replaced (in which case, I assume it has a years parts warranty?) - but surely if that was the problem it wouldn't be intermittent.
I've not been able to check the brakes until I read on this place and the car is behaving at the moment and brakes are fine.
I know this subject has kinda been covered, but any suggestions (and does anyone who is a bit partial to a free-pint have VCDS in Stoke on Trent / South Cheshire??)
edit: hopefully people realise, but just in case - its a 3 year old, diesel VRS (CR170) :) -
