Hi
I am in the research stage before the purchase of a facelift E220CDI from 2007. I chose that era (post 2006) as these cars are viewed now as very reliable.
I am trying to establish the maintenance costs of such a car if I do the work myself (change of fluids, filters, and brake pads/disks). For I prepared a list of things I think I will face during the ownership of this beautiful machine. I will appreciate any comment and discussion on these numbers, as well as anything related to this model. Am I missing something, am I being too optimistic?
Here are the numbers in British pounds:
Insurance 730 Annually
Tax 225 Annually
MOT 45 Annually
Brake fluid 30 Annually
Diesel 357.5 Annually for 3000 miles
Antifreeze 14 Every 2 years
Oil 45 Every 2 years or 10000 miles
Oil filter 9 Every 2 years or 10000 miles
Air filter 20 Every 30000 miles
Power steering fluid 25 Every 30000 miles
Differential oil 30 Every 30000 miles
Fuel filter 20 Every 60000 miles
Automatic transmission fluid 120 Every 60000 miles
Automatic transmission filter 9 Every 60000 miles
Automatic transmission gasket 7 Every 60000 miles
Jack and stand 80 Once
Oil extracting Pump 45 Once
Scanning device 45 Once
Tools based on work at hand, to be bought gradually
Glow plugs 30 When happens
Battery 120 When happens
Tires 250 When happens
Brake pads front 40 When happens
Brake pads rear 30 When happens
Wipers rear 3 When happens
Wipers front 30 When happens
Rear disks 60 When happens
Rear disks 80 When happens
Thank you
