Hi All,

 

just had a couple of prices back for service on a 2010 2.5 cvt.

 the car is on 38000 miles but will be 4 years old next month, so prices are thus-

 48k 4year service £382.00

or

 smaller anal type £249.

 

had a price of well over £500, from the garage that sold the car new.

 

I'm thinking I should just service by mileage not by age, any thoughts?

 

cheers

Pete

 

 

Mine goes in annually as a minimum, regardless of mileage covered - would put it in  more often if I covered more than 12k a year though

do services on age, unless mileage is reached first

 

fluids deteriorate with age and need replacing to continue performing like they should and giving full protection.

 

my cam belt is 60k miles or 5 years. I've just had it done because its 10 years old. I only do 3k miles a year, should I swap it again in 5 years or will my new cam belt be ok for 20 years????

Need to make sure comparing apples with apples, what is and isnt included

good point Tidgy, some garages will quote a lower price to look cheaper, but they don't always do everything that the more expensive garage would have done
