36000 Mile Service

[MidlandDan]

Just wondering what will be covered and 'serviced' on my 36000 mile service for my 130DCI FAP??

sorry to hijack your thread but i'd also like to know this but on the 120 bhp dci.

ive just picked one up with 36k on the clock. says it was just serviced but i have no service history with it.

Dont worry about the hijack

The last service i had was 27K (IIRC) that was about £180, with the standard....oil/filters etc, the 36K service is closer to £300 just wondering what extra is done on the service??

36K is a Major service.

If you look in your service book it will tell you what items need to be attended to as part of this service.

Brake fluid needs to be changed, along will ALL the filters, I think?

Edit:

You could alway supply your own oil to save a little cash.

For the 1.9dCi 120 it needs to be a fully synthetic 0W40 or5W40 ACEA B3 B4 oil
For the 1.9dCi 130 FAP it HAS to be a 0W30 or 5W30 ACEA C3 low SAPS oil

Every 4 years brake fluid needs to be changed
Every 5 years Coolant needs to be changed

On a 36k you should expect:

Oil Filter
Pollen filter
Air filter
Diesel Filter

and oil will be 5w30 elf solaris

Every 4 years brake fluid needs to be changed
Every 5 years Coolant needs to be changed

Brake fluid ideally should be changed every 2 years as it loses its property after that.

Brake fluid ideally should be changed every 2 years as it loses its property after that.

thats what the Haynes manual says....buts let's be honest...it never gets done.

Ive never changed brake fluid / coolant as part of a service, it just gets replaced whenever theres a problem/reason to do so as the car gets older.
