Which service is next?

I've got a service coming up in 6k miles, currently on 82k miles:

Previous services:

Registered 5th Oct 2011
18217 miles / 19/09/2012 - Oil, Micro filter
39242 miles / 10/06/2013 - Vehicle Check, Oil, Micro Filter, Fuel filter, Air Cleaner Element
68647 miles / 12/09/2014 - Brake Fluid, Engine Oil, Fuel Filter,
76398 miles / 29/07/2015 - Vehicle Check

Just trying to price up which filters/fluids need to be done.

You really want to change the oil more frequently! 20k intervals is horrid.

Dont know what the official service guide says should be done at 80k, often the service schedule is in the cars handbook or service book, so perhaps look in there?

I bought car at 69k. I changed oil and filter at 78k.

You did the oil and filter at 78,000 so 88,000 is about right for the next change.

Micro filter has been in a long time, it's very easy to replace, so do it now.

I'd do the fuel filter when you do the oil change, i.e. 88,000 miles.

The engine air cleaner filter wants changing now. Not sure which one your car has; one location is a 2 minute job but the other location takes ages to get to (between one and two hours I seem to recollect), hence is often neglected.

Brake fluid is OK for another twelve months.

Sounds like an expensive service then

Aragorn30d · 10-04-2015, 12:57 PM

parts probably amount to less than 50quid to do it all.

The 335d AFAIK always has the "easy" air filter. The turbo is in the way of the older style filter box, so they always have the seperate box mounted in the front corner.

Including the oil?

Aragorn30d · 10-04-2015, 01:44 PM

Maybe a little more.

Main dealer does 20L of oil for about 45-50quid. Ok you have to buy it in bulk, but averaged out per oil change it works out pretty cheap!

Thanks. I'll get a shopping list together.
