service

My car came back this week after a B service from the main dealers which was in excess of £500 (no extras) and for this sort of money they didn't even check the state of the air filters. I popped the air filters out today and they were fully clogged up and in a really bad state....see pics. I'm...

Hi all, I got this dreaded display a little earlier today. I completed my short journey and on re-starting the car and driving home it has not returned. I know its the SBC pump but is it normal for the display to not return after a re-start? I'll take it to my local independent tomorrow...

Hi All Was just wondering what you guys have been quoted by main dealers in the past to service your W212 for a A service, doesnt need ATF etc, car is under Tier 1 warranty and as its just a A do want to go to the dealer. Just wanted to get a idea of prices that have been quoted to members...

Don't know exactly when it happened but I took out a 4 year service plan on my C Class last October but I see the price has increased by 16% from £30 to £35 per month for new contracts. Also the better value 4 year plan seems to be no longer available so £1260 now buys 2 A services and 1 B...

Hi everyone, Just wondering what price is your B service in the UK. I've a 2012 w204 c250 cdi sport and been quoted €350 euro for a b service and if car has more than 90000 kilometres it will require all filters changed so price goes up to €500 euro, if brake fluid hasn't been changed in the...

Hiya, SWMBO's VW Touran has a engine management light saying take to workshop. The car is 10y old but has been perfect till now. My question is this Forget main dealer. Would you take to a general garage? A VW specific garage? And how would you get a handle on workmanship/reputation...

As my username suggests, Im very much a newbie in the world of Mercedes, and even having a brand new car. My E220 Mercedes is a '15' plate, so a month or so away from its 1 year anniversary. The Service A due indicator has now come up, so debating whether I am better off taking to a dealer...

Can anyone tell me what a C service is, I've checked service schedules and all I can find is A and B services, my car is an E220CDI 007 with 180000 miles and was last serviced 11 months ago, now the information on screen is showing C service due in 19 days, Your help will be greatly appreciated...

Hi. I have a C55 AMG. regarding the service, what is the best time to service it. After 12 months from when it was last serviced, x,000 miles from the last service, or when the service countdown on the dashboard tells me it needs a service? It has a full MB dealer service history, so I don't...

Hi, recently I had my car serviced by WATERHOUSE CHELMSFORD dealer, but it wasn't best experience. After that I emailed dealer but it took them some time to reply to me (after few extra emails), they said that they will post replacements for broken parts and voucher for next service. When I...

Ok long story short I bought MB around three months ago. The company Spire Cars Ltd in London had (What it seemed like) all the necessary paperwork. HPI Check, a print out of Car Service history*, car in perfect condition inside and outside, 53k mileage, top notch! Fell in love with it, bought...

Morning all. My car has a service pack, am I would like a remap. Will they complain? Wipe the MAP? Will they even know? Or am I better leaving it standard? Cheers

Hi, Recently I had a Service A carried out. After the Service was carried out, the Service indicator was reset by the garage to correctly display that Service B was due in 10,000 miles. Fast forward to a few weeks ago. Started to get battery issues - low water level initially but started...

Hi Folks. If anyone is driving from Aberdeen to Edinburgh in the near future with space for a kiteborad (150cm length) and a kite (Normal rucksac size) I'd be very interested to hear from you! Beer tokens of course are at the ready! Cheers. Tim.

My E350 goes in for a service next Saturday at M-B Northampton. I don't want them to know it has been re mapped as it is still on a PCP. This may sound stupid but will they do anything that would wipe the remap. The car is over 3 years old so don't think there would be any updates for the ECU...
