#1: Self Service. Author: Andreus84, Location: NorfolkPosted: Tue Sep 06, 2011 5:54 am ---- I am refusing to pay for a garage to service my car this year bearing in mind I can get Oil Filter, Cabin Filter, Fuel Filter, Oil etc for £90.
First Question:
The Fuel Filter is £30+ quid, how often do these need changing? I'm wondering if its something I can leave out.
Last Question (for now):
already answered by a quick search (http://206info.co.uk/Forums/viewtopic/t=3761/highlight=service+counter.html)

90 quid for a self service is a lot of money.
#3: Re: Self Service. Author: Andreus84, Location: NorfolkPosted: Tue Sep 06, 2011 5:58 am ---- Oil is £30 - Fuel filter alone is £36 (hence looking to leave it out)
#4: Re: Self Service. Author: Seb, Location: Under your bedPosted: Tue Sep 06, 2011 6:01 am ---- Don't worry about the fuel filter, if it doesn't have fuel problems, forget it.
£22 for oil, £7 oil filter, £10 spark plugs, £12 air filter, ~£55 and you're sorted.

Batteries cost me about £35 instead of £60.
#7: Re: Self Service. Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Sep 06, 2011 6:13 am ---- no need to change glow plug unless you can't start the car in winter.
oil from ebay or www.nielsencdg.co.uk; as cheap as chips, around 22-25 for 5L of oil.
pug dealer oil filter from ebay. normally around 7 quid.
i wash my air filter and just give the cabin filter a blow.
so yeah, under 30 quid for a quick serivice.

I'd have baught the whole stock for that price lol
5l or 4l
what grade?
normally 1L is about 9quid lol, so bargain either way
#14: Re: Self Service. Author: PugJH, Location: NorthantsPosted: Tue Sep 06, 2011 8:23 am ---- Also what about opie oil, think members get discount anyway, plus extra at moment.
£33 = 5l of oil and 1 oil filter
£21 = Fuel filter
didnt look at sparks or anythin else
