LongLife SEAT Services
10LongLife SEAT ServicesWhat is the LongLife SEAT service?The service intervals are flexibleWhereas conventional service intervals are calculated according to the
number of kilometres travelled, the LongLife Service employs a technology
which considers your personal driving style and the conditions of use appli-
cable to your vehicle. For example, frequent short journeys involve different
conditions of use to long journe ys. The maintenance intervals are flexible.
Remember that, in spite of the above, the LongLife Service should be carried
out at most every 24 months, as engine oil ages irrespective of the vehicle
conditions of use.
Details of the service work and additional work required can be found on
page ⇒page 12. onwards.
Please observe inspection intervals and ensure your vehicle is serviced as
required. Please note that failure to observe the inspection intervals may
lead to damage to your vehicle.Is my vehicle eligible for the LongLife Service?All vehicles are filled with oil suitable for the LongLife Service at the factory.
Depending upon the country where the vehicle is to be used, the LongLife Service or the inspection service is selected. On delivery of the vehicle, the
corresponding service is marked on the delivery inspection sheet.
Renewal of the LongLife Service
On completion of the relevant Service, the authorised SEAT Service Centre
resets the next service and marks the corresponding box on the service
sheet.
Engine oil specificationOnly specially approved engine oils may be used in vehicles
using the LongLife Service concept.The LongLife Service (maximum length 2 years) is only valid if engine oils
approved for the LongLength Service are used. Therefore, when filling and
topping up the engine, only engine oils with the following VW specifications
may be used:
Petrol engines VW 503 00, VW 503 01, VW 504 00
Diesel engines VW 506 00, VW 506 01, VW 507 00
In diesel vehicles fitted with particulate filters, the engine oil, specification
VW 507 00, must be used.
The instruction manual indicates the oil which should be used for your
vehicle engine.
If the specified engine oil is not used, the maintenance intervals given for the
SEAT inspection service should be observed.

Other services availableLegal Inspection ServiceThe legal inspections must be carried out at the intervals
prescribed.Many countries have legal requirements obliging owners to have their vehicle
tested at specified intervals for safety for the user and for other traffic, as well
as ensuring that vehicle exhaust emissions meet the countries' regulations.
These revisions must be overseen by officially certified centres.
Your Authorised Service Centre 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 Authorised Service Centre 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 car to an officially certified centre for this check, we recommend that you
speak to the person in charge of your Authorised Service Centre 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 partsAll parts of your vehicle have been approved by SEAT, especially those parts
on which your safety depends. For this reason, the parts used in the
Programmed Inspection Services or in any vehicle repair must correspond
exactly to the manufacturer-defined r equirements. The approved SEAT spare parts have been designed especially for your vehicle. For this reason, we
recommend that Genuine approved SEAT spares are always used.
In the Authorised SEAT Service Centres you will find the most important
approved spare parts. If in an exceptional case, the necessary parts are not in
stock, they can, in general, be obtained swiftly.
The SEAT Service Centres in the EU provide a 24 month warranty
1) for
Approved Spare parts from the date they are fitted or sold. It is therefore
advisable to retain the original invoice from the Authorised Service Centre as
proof of the existing warranty.
More information about this may be obtained from your Authorised Service
Centre.
Approved SEAT exchange partsThe approved SEAT exchange parts, conforming to the manufacturer’s
requirements, 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
elements, etc.
Of course these are Approved parts and, as they have the same class as the
manufacturer parts, they share the same SEAT approved spare parts warranty.
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.1)The warranty is not available for all export markets. For more information, please ask
your Authorised SEAT Service Centre.
