1st Year Service

[BurpleMan]

Bringing my car in for its 1st year service this month after recently getting the car 9 months old, The car itself has a minor problem of chugging a bit in the low revs so ive asked them to check that out during the service. Just wondering is this covered in the service fee or what?

this is what gets done at 1st service:

can't find anything exactly specific other than the diagnostics.

Yea had a read at that, its intentionally vague tho as most of them things are. Thinking my cars EGR valve may have developed a problem or possibly fuel filter blockage, hoping both these things would be covered in the warranty?

 

[jimiC]

as a newcomer to the brand it wouldn't be right for me to say what is or isn't covered but there are far more experienced people on here who may help

 

[BurpleMan]

Like all companies they probably would prefer you didnt know what was covered

 

[jimiC]

yea, the expense of which you usually don't find out about until you get that phone call from them authorising any repair. when i worked for Ford, i was the person making the call

 

[BurpleMan]

Well on the phone she said to me £179 including parts and labour so Im assuming that means its just a flat £179 regardless of whats needed?

 

[jimiC]

that is the price for the 1st. naturally wear and tear items won't be under warranty so if your problem falls under that category i would expect to be asked for more depending on what is required to solve the issue.

 

[BurpleMan]

Yea no doubt but engine hesitation sounds more systemic than a tyre or a brake pad lol

 

[jimiC]

hence why its incorrect for me to comment as i've not yet experienced these 'characteristics'. i've had low rpm problems in previous cars years ago, easily fixed, but not with vehicles that are relatively new.

 

[BurpleMan]

Ill find out on the day when they slap me with the bill

 

[andrewpain]

if it isn't consumables - oil, filters, wiper blades, plugs etc - it should be covered by warranty.

 

[BurpleMan]

Was thinking it might be a clogged fuel filter, cheap enough just hope the labour is included in the service fee

Expect nothing more than a oil change if your lucky and a quick scud with a sponge...

Mines on a flexible service, which checking the service book is either 20k or 2 years ... never had a car before that was so long for service. I have hit 16k now in 8 months, so shortly should be getting my first one done

I'm getting my lease car soon for 2 years. What is the service intervals?
Was hoping I can get away with just one service.
