Strange my Peugeot Boxers every 30k (before 40watt aka altransit puts some stupid comment i mentioned the Boxer as it has the same 2.2 engine as the mk8 ! )

Did you not say elsewhere that 'your' Boxers have the 3.0 Iveco engine

Its the 3litre Iveco engine in ours ( own two) & yes Andrew also have a Vito of 2013 vintage & a Sprinter 2014

Remember the old Peugeot advertising slogan...."The Lying goes from strength to strength" ....(I hope his Pies are as full as he is)

We px ed the 2.2 late July from memory it was the 3.6 length load area , the new one is 4 mtre length which im sure is only available with the 3 litre, our other one is a curtainsider with tail lift, next question ?
While we are on the subject of bull5hit still no dyno results from the mtdi Tim ?

Sounds like some of you guy's have been well & truly serviced.

[knighty1981]

if it's a new van, do you not need to have it serviced by ford to keep the warranty cover ?

very true but you do have to use filter and their specific oils and prove as well 0 and have to be a vat registered company which is a load of bollocks as iv just done a insurance job for a warranty company, and i aint vat registered but i had to guarantee the work as i always do anyway so if it fails i have to foot the bill but i used new parts with 12 months warranty which then the cost falls to the supplier not be

I've just looked on FordEtis....as said up-stream, it's a "15K Interim Check" no fluids or filters are replaced.

The "2 year/30k Major Service" does not include fuel filter or brake fluid replacement, they are additional labour items....so what do you actually get on a fixed price "Service Schedule" apart from an empty pocket

If your new Transit has a full service record i.e. 15000 then 30000 and so on then it entitles you to FORD ROAD SIDE ASSISTANCE cover which would normally cost around £120 for the same cover through the AA for a vehicle used for business purposes,if you miss a service then you have to sort your own breakdown cover out.

Hahaha....we retain the right to refuse a request for roadside assistance if the customer refuses to pay for a scheduled service that excludes the vehicle having it's service parts replaced.

If the engine oil & filter have been changed then IMO it costs what it costs....I don't doubt there will be a marketing campaign indicating that 30k servicing represents lower owning costs - that's all well & good if you sell the van before the engine gives in....an Interim Inspection (the one that some people are calling a 15k service) is nothing more than an additional source of revenue, if an apprentice does 3 inspections per hour what's the revenue per hour?

What do you get with Ford Roadside Assist?....do they transport you, your vehicle & your passengers to any destination on mainland blighty or do you go directly to the nearest 100 notes /hour repair facility?

Never say never....but I don't envisage buying a vehicle in the near future that's had 30k servicing & a perceived shorter life expectancy.
