SEAT maintenance programme7
SEAT maintenance programmeGeneral informationThis maintenance programme will inform you of the work to carry out regularly
on your vehicle in order to ensure the safety, reliability and durability
required.
Using the “vehicle identification” data or the data contained in this docu-
ment, the correct spare parts your vehicle could require in case of repairs are
specified, even after many years from the initial purchase.
We recommend that you keep this maintenance programme with the vehicle
documents. The inspection receipts are one of the essential requirements for
exercising your rights under warranty.
The maintenance programme shows the date of delivery, and this indicates
the starting date of the vehicle warranty.Concepts of the SEAT serviceLongLife Services or inspection services by time or mileage?Depending on the technical characteristics of the vehicle, the LongLife
Service or the inspection service is selected. If the LongLife Service is not
desired, the inspection service can be selected.
Your authorised SEAT Service Centre is able to advise on the service mode
suited to your vehicle and will provide information of whether there is any
work required by law to be carried out on the vehicle. Each Inspection Ser vice, as well as any additional operation required already
has a pre-established work time. This will allow you to know the total cost of
the service beforehand.
The authorised SEAT Service Centre network is equipped with modern work-
shop technology and well-trained specialists. Many SEAT Service Centres
offer different service packages at special prices
Important information relating to the service concept is given on the
following pages.
The information described here is correct at the time of going to print. Modi-
fications may be necessary for technical reasons
Note
The cost of the SEAT inspection service may vary, depending on the vehicle
type, equipment fitted, additional work and statutory tests. Your authorised
SEAT Service Centre can advise you of the costs.Adverse conditionsThe Service Centre “service advisor” will inform you of any necessary addi-
tional work within the intervals defined by the Inspection Service, according
to the conditions and environment in which the vehicle is used. For example,
an oil change where the vehicle is used only for frequent short journeys or is
subject to extreme temperatures. Likewise, when the vehicle is used in dusty
conditions, dust and pollen filter cartridges must be changed more often and
the timing belt must be checked.

SEAT maintenance programme
8Diesel fuelThe Service Centre “service advisor” can provide information about which
countries use fuel with a high sulphur content. In these cases, the oil must be
changed every 7,500 km (5,000 miles).
Caution
•Vehicles with the label “UNSUITABLE FOR BIODIESEL” on the fuel cover
cannot be driven using biodiesel.•To be certain if your vehicle can be used with biodiesel according to the
DIN EN 14214 (FAME) standard, consult your Service Centre.•DIN is a German abbreviation for “ Deutsches Institut für N ormung e.V.”,
the German standards institute.•EN means European Norm.•FAME is the English abbreviation for “ Fatty Acid Methyl Ester”.LongLife 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 journeys. 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 10 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 the vehicles which are designed for Extended Service Intervals leave the
factory with the correct engine oil. 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 specification
Only 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:
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.
SEAT interval service inspectionWhat is the SEAT Inspection Service?
With the SEAT Inspection Service the service intervals are
fixed.Unlike the LongLife Service, the SEAT inspection service is a conventional
service with fixed maintenance intervals.
A reminder label for the scheduled inspection services is located on the
inside of the driver door frame; you will also be reminded by the service
interval counter on the instrument panel, and the service records in this docu-
ment.
The SEAT inspection service is applied whenever the conditions for the use of
the LongLife Service are not met, or where this service is not desired.
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.
