Slide thread revival, but I've just seen my car is due for its first year service soon (it arrived early February last year). Has anyone had any quotes for their first service yet?

First service on variable (mine was 18.5k) cost me £249 from Skoda Harlow, though mine is the diesel DSG.

£250. Ouch!

I'm gonna check exactly when mine is due tonight and see if I can get it booked in. I've tried the Skoda site and the cost quoted from my nearest dealer (Citygate) was £179. That's for a petrol DSG.

^^^ That's what I'm not sure about as my car is saying first oil service due in 8,100 miles or 89 days. That'd take it to c. 14 months after it arrived new at my house.

How many miles would that have covered then adding on 8k ? Mines covered nearly 10k now and 12months isn't till April !

I'm only on 3K so the car is estimating a service is due after ~11K miles (my job changed after I got the car and I can now walk to work instead, hence the low mileage!)

I've not anything tell me a service is due yet so I'll just keep driving till it tells me.... I'll contact Skoda and see what they say.

I don't have any notifications either in the car telling me that a service is due soon - I had an email from the supplying dealer that prompted me to check on the car infotainment screen at servicing info.
