Mercedes Service (1 Viewer)

Took our Hymer on a Merc 319 V6 chassis for its first service yesterday, 20,000 miles in 18 months and had quite a surprise. Service A Total £168 including VAT.
I usually avoid main dealers but thought not bad at all, since it holds 12.5 litres of oil.
Roanza Truck & van, Longport, Stoke.

Well done for the service price and for banging 20,000 miles on in 18 months, some vans don't do that in 10 years.

Roanza, beware, worst garage I have ever used. Manchester ones to be fair (was Enza)

Hi Martin, No point in spending all that money on a van and going nowhere!
They did the job so no complaints TeeMob, what went wrong for you?

What is just an oil and filter change they did?

I’ve just had an A service for our 2016 Sprinter at Cicely Commercial in Bolton, main MB agents. They could not have been more helpful...
they replaced a parking light bulb at cost, and all in the cost was £168 incl Vat. Good friendly people.

The oil alone is about £100. It is that synthetic stuff and the 3L engine holds a lot.
Also needs oil filter fuel filter pollen filter and the inevitable £1to fill up the screenwash. Mine is going in soon but to my usual independent . I dont have much faith in main dealers.

I would be very very cautious. I use a Garage in Stoke , proper old school in Kidsgrove and have done for 10 + years to look after my vans.

I have to say, I had my Merc done there a couple of years ago and the oil came to as much as your complete service? although I was informed that it needed doing every 2 years due to the type of Oil.

It was the first service A. (oil & filter) Mercs seem to have standard price servicing according to the leaflets, which I found so reasonable. How much for 12.5 litres of correct oil and filter alone?

it holds 12.5 litres of oil.

'kin ell 12.5 litres ??? Why so much? I thought they were cutting down on oil capacity

I didn't design the V6 engine!
But I reckon the higher the lubricant to crap ratio = less wear !
