servicing

Chief DS3 Slater offer LOL

TBH the amount of grief and money loss I had in the 2 years I owned the car I feel I am justified to slate the thing also by pointing out the shortfall of the engine may help others WHEN not if they get the same problem ..................................also remember I am not the only one and as for modding the product I would be very weary because of Citroen lack of customer care dealing with claims.

There was noway I could keep the old car even if they had repaired it AGAIN because the warranty was running out and I had lost all trust in the car so the new one is costing me another £60 a month .............................but its only money

Question on servicing. Bought my lady second hand with very low mileage (155HP Sport Plus). She's now just gone past 2300 miles and will be a year old on the 6th of August. The servicing counter is telling me that I need to get her serviced within 500 miles.

Surely as she has done that little mileage it is not needful for the service yet?

I think it also works on time as well

I'll agree with that, but as she has been rarely used (spare car for a garage I believe) before we bought her, she's not been on the road at all.

As monkeynuts said. That's yearly for the newer cars and every 2 years for the older ones if it does not do the mileage first. Had the same on mine 2 year inspection and less than 10k miles

I'm def' doing more-than-nec' oil changes...
...rest of it debatable ??
Timing chain probs = oil changes

[cyclone]

What?

[FatS]

After feeling how hot it gets under the bonnet of the 155
it DESERVES more frequent oil changes !
And if the main problem with the 155 is bad chain and tensioner
then old/boiled oil really isn't gonna help ?

Yep will have to live with it, still bloody annoying though! It will have to wait until we get back from a long weekend in Wales!

Just a reminder that the service needs to be done within limits set out in the service manual or warranty can be compromised

[FatS]

Oh yes ! They'll USE it to wiggle out of ANY claim.

Don't forget, it's EVERY 1 Year or 12, 500/20, 000
But, WHICHEVER COMES FIRST.....
So it's gonna need one every 12 months REGARDLESS
of mileage (it DOESNT mean you can leave it till the mileage
is reached !)
