Setting the service interval on Skoda with flexible service interval (LongLife)


On Skoda cars from year model -00 inclusive there are two kinds of instrument (PR number):

To determine which instrument version is fitted to the vehicle, see the vehicle data plate, usuall located in the spare wheel tray. See illustrations below.

On petrol-engined vehicles with flexible service interval, service intervals are calculated on the basis of not only distance covered and time since last service, but also fuel consumption and oil temperature. This calculation gives a figure for the deterioration of the oil in relation to thermal load. On diesel-engined vehicles, the deterioration of the oil is calculated on the basis of engine speed, engine load, distance cover and oil temperature. This gives values for thermal load and carbon deposits. The deterioration of the oil is the deciding factor in determining when the next service is due.

The shortest service interval is 15000 km or 12 months.

The service intervals for flexible oil changes must be programmed as follows:

Instrument QG1

Example

For a Skoda Superb 1.8T (AWT) with instrument QG1, the values to be entered are:

NOTE: The service interval may only be changed at servicing and oil changing.
