NOTE, 1200, NOT 1.4! Hello, my wife bought a brand new petrol 5d 1200 a year ago from a dealer 150 miles away. It was taken to our local dealer for it's first service on Friday, 2 June. There was also a rattle (from exhaust heat shield it transpires) and an ecu recall, both done as foc. However, the total bill was £270.74 incl VAT. This was queried as being a lot for a car 1 year old that had done less than 2000 miles. But we were told that filters, oil, plugs PLUS VAT etc were expensive and the recall and rattle were performed foc (!) So it was paid there and then, without protest as I expected a Peugeot dealer to be correct with their statement.
However, now I have looked into the handbook specification, it appears I have been given a service far exceeding the specification for what it should have had. It was registered at the end of May 2016 and has done 1877 miles only.
Breakdown is (£):
12 month schedule service 95.20
DRN plug Gask x1 0.55
Oil Filter x 1 8.97
BTCH OF FILTERS 22.18
Washer liquid 1.31
Air Filter x 1 18.06
Spark Plug x 3 50.10
Lubricant Ineo first Oil x3.25 29.25
TOTAL 225.62
VAT 45.12
Grand total being £270.74
Looking at my handbook, it appears it was serviced NOT as per specification.
Before I tackle them about this, is there a reason such a comprehensive service should have been performed on a vehicle with only 1877 miles from new?
You may think I am dumb paying it in the first place, but it is a few years since I had an "official Peugeot dealer" perform a service on my old 307sw 1.6hdi.
I thought it might be due to more stringent procedures in place on a modern 3 cylinder petrol car.
Thank you,
sholland
