First Service

[MattHero]

I'm guessing that a few of us are getting - or have got - that reminder in their cars that it's time to head for the first service.

I didn't sign up for any service package (actually, I wasn't offered one, but probably wouldn't have taken it anyway) by my dealer, so phoned up to book it earlier this week. It's a while-I-wait "full inspection"; 117UKP (inc VAT).

My dealer has been really good so far, although I've not really asked much of them post delivery. What's the collective experience of your first e service?

Oh and I asked, no pollen filter swap is part of the routine this time, before someone mentions that

Please could you tell me the dealership that quoted this price because only yesterday I was quoted £175 inc VAT for the first service and today I was just about to book it in along with the replacement door switch. As of yesterday it just got worse and now the driver's window opens/closes every few seconds which is not only annoying on a 35 min commute but concerning that it doesn't fully close when I shut the door and lock the car, especially with wet weather on the horizon and also only the day before a bunch of scumbags hacked off a catalytic converter from a neighbour's car at 1am.
BTW the neighbour reported it to the police, but as expected they weren't interested even though they & my son saw the criminals.

Thanks, I'll see if I can get a price match with my local stealership.

I was quoted £175 and I think it should include a pollen filter swap as that it mentioned in the handbook, every 10k miles or 1 year.

Hmm, now see I'm out voted 2-1 on this now. Maybe my lot are wrong?

Going for mine on Friday. They said it takes 3.5h, but I think they’re confused. It’s not an ice car.

Mine is next week in Eastbourne!

In ours, correcting the gasket and applying some silicone solved this problem. In the mean time, you can mitigate by rolling down the window by 5mm (i.e a tiny bit, so still "closed") when driving.

Service took about 1.5h including the seatbelt warning software update. Just a visual check and nothing else. Waste of time, and it left a horrible smell of oil in the car.

I am temped to do all the maintenance myself from now on.
