E320 CDi Estate,

I brought this car needing a new mot (done...2 tyres) and 5,000 miles over a B service interval.
I have changed the engine oil, oil filter, diesel filter, air filter.
I have visually/manually checked brakes, fluids throughout.
Can anyone tell me what else the B servive entails as the service book does not make much sense to me! ??

The car has done 194,000 miles:bannana:.

Thanks,
Paul.
 
Hi,if you put your cars details into ESS(mercedes electronic service sheet)it will bring up a list of service items/checks-hope that helps.
 
The web address is lite.servicemercedes.co.uk(then click on ess & enter cars details).
 
No probs.
 
Hi Steve,

I have done everything listed on the B service except I am not sure if the V belt needs changing, it looks ok.....what damage can be done if it snaps ??
I also put Q8 fully synthetic oil in when I changed the oil....any ideas if that is ok? should be as it cost a mint!

V-belt should come up(if required) on ess if you've put the cars reg date/mileage,i don't think they're too expensive if you know how to/want to change it anyway,not sure about the oil you used but check the spec in your owners manual/service book & see if it matches.
 
Yep the oil checks out equal to spec, just a bit worried about the v belt as it was serviced up to 146k by MB and then a bentley dealer in sheffield after that up to 190,000 miles, obviously everything looks very good....even mint! but I have no history of belts etc?
thanks

Get it changed if it's going to play on your mind(better safe than sorry),good luck!
