Hello there.
It's that time where i need my car serviced. It's done just short 49000 miles.
What sort of things will need done and what should i be looking out for.

Cheers for reading and any help will be of good use!

Are you doing it yourself then?

[Ryan]

its written in the sercive manual.

[CHRIS84T]

No not doing it myself just would like to know what needs done and how much ists going to cost really.

[CHRIS84T]

its written in the sercive manual.

Cheers, will have a look in there

[RedB]

depends, i service mine myself pretty regularly

Oil every 4000k or so
Gearbox oils
Oil and fuel filters
General wear and tear and all fluids dude

Pretty easy to do, check the manuallage for more info and any decent garage should do it for around £50 :A:

[CHRIS84T]

redbullet07: Cheers mate. Cheaper than i thought like. Dont really have the bottle to change the gearbox oil and stuff myself. Will probs bugger the whole car.....
Need a ball joint or something on front suspension as it knocks now and then. So will get a garage to service while their on.

well I don't know what it is for a vts but a furio is 80k!! (Haynes manual) mines just on 50k and by the time my service is due it wil be about 60k, so ill be getting mine done nearer 70k

probably not, I would get it done at your next service mate

if u get it done by a garage they'll normally do the following:


Change or top up brake fluid, anti-freeze and windscreen washer liquid. Change oil and oil filter. Change fuel and air filters*. Check and, if necessary, replace wiper blades, check all bulbs and electrics, check tyres and check pretty much everythin else for wear and tear.

* Obviously they aint gonna change the filter of an induction kit


There's a few things that they wont replace straight away. If they find a problem they'll ask if u want it sorted which often involves payin extra on top of the original service.


From the list at the top u can see that there's loads u can do urself which will save u quite a bit of cash. If ur unsure how to do sumthin either ask on here or get a haynes manual.


Hope thats the perfect answer to ur question :y:

[CHRIS84T]

-E-N-Z-O-: Cheers mate. Thats Helped a lot. Replaced the wiper blades. All bulbs and stuff are ok. It's in the garage as we speak. £120 for the full service for a Citroen Specialist not far from me.
Just rang tho and both front suspension arms have collapsed. So the total now is £365. Get in!!!!

Cheers for all the help tho guys.

[CHRIS84T]

Well the total for the repairs were £428. But to be fair, car feels much better.
Once again. Cheers for all the help.
