Service interval

[500PLUS]

My car was serviced at 39000 miles march 2010, now done 43000, when should the next service be?

[Fingers01]

March 2011 or 49000 miles whichever happens first and as it 26th February 2011. It should be March 2011.

4000 miles in almost 12 months!!!!

I just bought it, so didnt do the low miles..But why do it 6k miles before required...The oil etc doesnt go off!!

Is the recommended interval 10k miles

[TechNick]

Would have thought the DIS would be telling you a service is due in a few hundred miles, based upon those figures...(?)

[500PLUS]

Yes it is 600 miles...does it need a service with only 4k miles done?

[posterboyj]

cambelt should be due

4 years or 60k

yearly or 10000 miles,up to each individual owner at the end of the day....if you were doing 1000 miles a year would you leave it ten years before you serviced it???? probably not....up to you at end of day,little service for piece of mind on these beasts,small price imho....WAFFY....

Welcome 500PLUS to the forum of wise words but reassurance is a bit scarce sometimes, your at the mercy of all of us who choose to own a car that costs nearly £1000 for everything other than an annual service, which incidentally will soon be less than a tank of Shell Optimax! So expect a bit of doom and gloom. I'm no expert but mine was serviced 18mths ago at 73k and its done 76,850 now. I don’t drive it much, once a month I check the oil (I've topped it up about 0.5 litres once in that time), check brake fluid (which I also topped up a bit (with Audi fluid from Audi), check tyres (especially inside edges for wear and I did have had 4 wheel geometry done with a new set of tyres), check washers, generally covert etc... I will be getting a full service (sparks & filters, I think it’s a 20k service with most) hopefully soon and since being shocked into it I’m considering the cambelt change its over 4yrs and 30k since it was last done. That’s my story hope it helps.
