Service Intervals on 300TE - Sorry to have to ask

[Racingsnake]

Mine has 139K miles on it. Unfortunatekly the service book has got wet, and I was wondering what the intervals should be. Is the next one due at 144K? Is this the dreaded BIG one? Any idea how much? Will I have to take a seat when presented with the bill?

Many Thanks

Yes it is due at 144k, (multiples of 6k), and yes that will be a biggy, i see from your profile that you are in Stroud, that is not a million miles away from the Birmingham area, give Andy a bell, i bet you save more than the fuel cost of travelling up there!!

David E, my vehicle has service intervals of 9K! Why the change from 6K to 9K I ask myself.

Anyone know why this maybe the case?

Regards

I did contact Andy a while ago, but he was only £50 cheaper than the MB dealer. Mind you, there is no guarantee that the dealer will be doing a good job, whereas Andy.....

The car is for sale right now, so I will prolly not want to spend the cash on this big service, but will need to if there are no buyers......

I can only assume that MBN "stretched" the service intervals in common with most manufacturers, in order to be more competetive to the fleet market.
