servicing

As a time served old school mechanic I love doing my own servicing and maintenance as far as possible anyway. I have heard that a special tool is required for the sump plugs on these engines? Also, what service issues are there, if any, surrounding the auto gearbox?

My 2004 W211 E270 Mercedes has around 350 miles before it is due a service and it will probably go over by about 500 miles before I am able to get it serviced. I intend on getting it serviced by an independent but I have been told that if I go over the service interval then I can only get the...

As MB used prices seem to be getting lower? I may get one as a second car/ project. Which models were free of the dreaded "computer servicing" only treatment? I shall be searching for a "practical (ly) classic motor very soon. I have serviced my own vehicles for years so am no stranger to...

Hi there, i have recently purchased a C350 CDI 59 plate in a private sale and am sorting out little niggles with stuff, tyres etc. However am unsure as to servicing costs which seem odd to me, or maybe I'm missing something. The car is due a B service, has done 46k miles and full service history...

Hi guys, I've finally got my A210 back from the garage after some work doing for the RWC. I was wondering what this service A and B are. what mileages are these at? I ask because the car has no history, and I've just had the garage change the oil and filter, air filter, fuel filter and coolant...

Hi all Can anyone recommend a garage in Northants, preferably close to Kettering, that can service an older E320 (2002ish) competently and not think that I am rich :) Look forward to your replies. Many thanks Keith

Hi all Just a quick query to gauge costs elsewhere but one of my 2 local Merc main dealers has quoted me £420 for a B service which was explained to be oil and filter change and extra checks. Spark Plugs, V-Belt etc all changed within last 18 months so not needed and neither is air or brake...

I'm thinking of starting a service plan with MB as the car is still in manufacturers warranty and realise the advantage of full history and how it effects the residual value of a car. My question is are prices for these plans fixed nationally or can dealers set/discount their own prices to...

Wifes B180 CDi (2005) is coming up on it's next service - and it is a "B". As far as I can tell, there doesn't actually appear to be anything extra done on the "B" vs. the "A"? They both seem to feature just an oil/filter change and a check round everything? They will tell me at this service...
