oil change

[dpoynton]

my year old Macan. A message to do this came up on the dash.

and for a car with a 2 year service interval.

I'd refer to a PC and ask them why does it need to be done now when the standard service interval is 2 years/20k miles.

If you service the car per the manual the warranty will cover you. Some (like my 90 year old dad) like to change o&f annually no matter what the book says. In the past a Peugeot dealer tried to make me do this and I pointed to the manual and warranty and they backed off.

PS. With your average mileage the service will be due at c. 21 months old (20k).

i have just been quoted £350 for an oil & filter change on my year old 12500 mile 2.0 ltr petrol Macan. A message to do this came up on the dash.
Is this right, it seems a ridiculously high price for such a simple task and for a car with a 2 year service interval.

Yes take it in and get them to check the service interval is set correctly it's probably just been set incorrectly at the factory/not changed at pdi to UK settings ie two year interval.

My Macan 2.0 is only 7 months old and I have completed 7500 miles, yet last week I also had the "Oil Change Due" message pop up.

I contacted my supplying OPC who told me that it was PDI'd in May last year as a showroom car even though I had actually bought and registered it in mid November. The Oil change is therefore out of sync with the actual time and they have agreed to re-program it for me to the correct dates.

However, upon checking the Handbook I gather that Macan 2.0 models do need an annual Oil change in addition to the interim service, something that I hadn't been aware of until now.

Just for info, they quoted me £300 for Oil & Filter change.
