Fiat 2.3 2 year service

[Guest JudgeMental]

My van being an import has 2 year warranty so I will shop around for a better deal as coming up to 2 years..Have checked and no outstanding recalls. It is low mileage, just under 12,000 so an interim will be enough.

 

BUT! what does an interim consist of please. As BT who I called today said oil and filter + pollen filter for about £170 inclusive. while local Fiat agent said oil, filter and brake fluid but nothing about pollen filter (£175 + vat).

 

Can anyone give me an idea please......

Isn't it worth checking with a Fiat dealer just what an interim service involves and their price?

 

That way you would know exactly what should be done and could ask other garages to give you a price for a service covering those tasks and parts.

I'm in same position as you.

Am going to have oil and filter, hadn't thought of the pollen filter, shall have a look at that as previous experience on other vehicles shows this to be prudent. As for the brake fluid, unless some one like Nick says other wise will not be changing that at 2 years, experience of other ABS vehicles is four years between changes and no problems, but my van is kept under cover when not in use so gets very little water in engine bay.

Let BT Fleet do the Oil + Filter and ask about Brake Fluid and you do the Pollen Filter.

I`m sure there is someone else on here that has a 2011 Ducato that could look in their book and

tell you what it says.

 

Unless.......... you`ve upset that many people they don`t want to know.

Kerching! if thy did all that they would charge about 1200 quid. instead they look at the van for about 2 sec's while picking their nose. :-D

 

But @ 45k that is a full service not and interim?

Even at 45k they still only change the oil and filters.... *-)

The local Bus depot in Plymouth gave a very competitive quote for a service and cambelt change on my last van. Try giving yours a ring they may take on private work.
