^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

i agree with the above 30,000 is not good for any moving parts in any engine


off topic but

" but plant machine is serviced every 500 hrs regardless of the quality of the filters and oils "

But aren't service intervals a lot longer on trucks (Scania etc ) ?

i couldn't answer that BUT what i do know is every scania at http://www.ppoconnor.co.uk/ have services every 6 months and have to have 6 weekly checks

so any issues are addressed and repaired accordingly to the fitter carrying out the inspection every machine is done every 500 hrs as said above

and the ones i do for Patterson plant is the same and inspected every 2 weeks

i change the oil every 15k on the Pug, i was told the timing chains don't like long intervals when fitted in the Iveco

Afternoon Parishioners.

I see the Mk8 Euro VI has extended intervals of 2 years/36k miles.

Does anyone know if the Euro VI is using a different oil pump/oil/oil filter

I've modified my tone regarding the Roadside Assistance....but if you are shelling out £100 a time for an "Interim Inspection" the Roadside Assistance is not free (or have I missed something).

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

No....you can have service work done within the warranty period by an Independent garage that has Ford approval.

Any vat registered garage can do it as long as they use genuine Ford parts
