What is Oil Service v Inspection? Help please.

[Euge]

Hi all

I have an ex RAC 2017 T6 that came with a list of all the service and repairs. I can see a service at May 2023 but it’s not specific.

I’m at 134k miles.

The dash is showing Oil Service and Inspection 12700 due in 20 odd days.

What do I need to book it in for? I’d assume VW would know but I might not go there.

Does the van tell you when interim and main service are due?

MOT is due August but I suppose I might as well get it all done now.

Yes, this is essentially what the display is telling you. Oil Service is Interim, Inspection is Main, very broadly.

There is also Supplementary Scope about, which as far as I can tell is changing the non safety critical consumables like pollen filters.

What mileage was it at in May 2023 when it had its last service. I give mine new oil and filter every 7 or 8k.
If that was mine I would be getting the oil service done pronto.
I can’t see the point of getting an August MOT done in April. It’s in no way related to the service schedule, you’re just throwing money away.

In March I had a June MOT and big service done because June was bluddy inconvenient - sports commitments, weather getting a bit better for spontaneous camping trips, garden needing every daylight hour . . .

In my case it was not throwing money away, it was spending money that was going to be spent anyway, just a little sooner to make life my easier.

Yeah I guess I forget with being retired. I can just get my van MOT done any day of the week while I go for a brew.

Booked for oil change this week.
