5Service informationService type
LongLife service or service dependent on time/distance travelled?
Depending on your vehicle's technical characteristics either the LongLifeservice or the service dependent on time/distance travelled will apply. If youdo not wish to have the LongLife service you can choose the service de-pendent on time/distance travelled. Your specialised workshop has the
most recent information about the services and can advise you on the besttype of service for your vehicle, and if there are any additional inspections itrequires by law.

General information
To ensure that you have each service carried out on time and that none areforgotten, there is a reminder sticker on the driver side door pillar and a re-minder will also be shown via the service interval display on the instrumentpanel.
The service intervals quoted are for vehicles used under normal operatingconditions.
However, if the vehicle is used in adverse conditions, it may require workbefore the next established service interval or even between service inter-vals.
Adverse conditions include:
●
the use of fuel with a high sulphur content
●
frequent short journeys
●
leaving the engine idling for long periods of time (as occurs with taxis)
●
driving on dusty roads or in dusty areas
●
frequently using the vehicle for towing
●
mainly driving in the city, in heavy traffic where it is necessary to contin-uously brake and start, and
●
using the vehicle mainly in the winter
This particularly affects:●
the air filter
●
the timing belt
●
the engine oil and
●
the diesel particulate filter
In some countries diesel fuel has a high sulphur content; in these cases thefuel filter and the oil should be changed every 7500 km (5000 miles)⇒ page 12. Your SEAT Official Service will be able to tell you which coun-tries have diesel with a high sulphur content.
The service advisor at your specialised workshop will tell you if, due to pre-vailing conditions, your vehicle will require more frequent work.
Your SEAT Official Service always has the latest available information andwill be able to tell you if your vehicle requires any other additional inspec-tions established by law.
The cost of the SEAT service may vary, depending on the vehicle type,equipment fitted, additional work and statutory inspections. Your SEAT Offi-cial Service will tell you how much the SEAT service will cost (labour andparts).

13SEAT maintenance programmeLongLife Service
Thanks to the technology used at SEAT, with the LongLife Service, an Inter-val Service only has to be carried out when it is necessary.
The length of the service intervals is also determined by factors such asconditions under which the vehicle is used and personal driving style.
If LongLife engine oil is not used, the service dependent on time/distancetravelled then applies. In this case, an oil change service will have to becarried out every 15 000 km (10 000 miles) or every year. This also appliesif you reprogram the vehicle to the service dependent on time/distance trav-elled
Note
In addition to the Inspection Service and Interval Service, additional workmust be carried out which is dependent on the time/distance travelled.
Note
Your specialised workshop is informed of the work to be completed duringeach inspection.
Note
●We recommend that you visit a SEAT Authorised Service whenever yourequire any work done on your vehicle.●
SEAT keeps its Authorised Services up-to-date on new product develop-ments. They have tools and highly specialised personnel who can guaran-tee the safety and performance of your vehicle.
●
Scrupulously following the General Programme for Inspection Servicesat the SEAT Authorised Services can help you maintain greater value for yourvehicle.

15Other services availableOther services availableLegal Inspection Service
The legal inspections must be carried out at the intervals
prescribed.
Many countries have legal requirements obliging owners to have their vehi-cle tested at specified intervals for safety for the user and for other traffic,as well as ensuring that vehicle exhaust emissions meet the countries' reg-ulations. These revisions must be overseen by officially certified centres.
Your SEAT Official Service can advise of the inspections required by law, andcan check your vehicle in the course of an Inspection Service. This will saveyou both time and money.
The SEAT Official Service can also carry out the inspections required by lawat the client's request.
Even if you do not wish to take advantage of this service and decide to takeyour vehicle to an officially certified centre for this check, we recommendthat you speak to the manager of your SEAT Official Service first.
This person will be able to inform you of any points that require attention sothat your car does not fail the test and have to be re-tested.

Approved spare parts
Genuine SEAT spare parts are designed for your vehicle and approved bySEAT, particularly as regards safety. The workmanship, precision of dimen-sions and materials of these parts comply exactly with factory specifica-tions. Genuine SEAT spare parts have been designed especially for your ve-hicle. We therefore recommend that you always use genuine SEAT spare
parts. SEAT will not be held responsible for the safety and reliability of partsfrom other manufacturers.
In the SEAT Technical Services you will generally find the most importantgenuine SEAT spare parts. If a part is not in stock, it can usually be obtainedquickly.
SEAT Technical Services provide a warranty for genuine SEAT spare parts,valid from the date of purchase or fitting. It is therefore advisable to retainthe original invoice from the SEAT Technical Service as proof of the contrac-tual warranty.
Please ask your SEAT Official Service for further information.
The genuine SEAT spare parts warranty can be submitted to any SEAT Offi-cial Service.
Ð
Approved SEAT exchange parts
The approved SEAT exchange parts, conforming to the manufacturer's re-quirements, constitute an additional service at your disposal, offering youthe possibility to replace entire assemblies, the most common being: thelightened engine, gearboxes, cylinder heads, control units, electrical ele-ments, etc.
These are Approved parts and as such, share the same approved spareparts warranty as the manufacturer parts.
However, these parts are considerably cheaper as they are factory-recondi-tioned used parts. Keep the invoice for the approved SEAT exchange partsas proof of the start of the existing warranty.
More information about this may be obtained at the SEAT Official Service.
