Thread: D4 - 2 Year Service Cost

Pollen filter is on the schedule for replacement every service. Whether it’s required or not is a fair question but irrelevant, if they follow the schedule then it’s done. Global Closing is a CCF change and therefore not something the dealer can do with their diagnostic equipment.

If its corporate plan,sure,or fixed price servicing,then it gets done.

But if not,you can ask for it not to be done.

i have checked ours in both vehicles and never seen it dirty.

If it is, a quick brush will fix it.

Bottom line is it is changed many times for no reason.

Oh,as for indies,my last two Discos,bought new,didn't go back to the dealer for any services,only warranty work.

Well it's always the customer's choice but the "logbook" service includes this item.

If a customer asks for a logbook service the pollen filter gets changed regardless of how it is paid for or how necessary it may be. So it's not the dealer's fault or gouging if something that you may consider unnecessary gets changed if all you ask for is the logbook service. An independent should be changing the pollen filter if a customer asks for a logbook service.

Obviously that's a separate discussion from what a dealer charges versus an independent, which I think has been done to death.

One area where a customer should be wary is with brake pads and rotors. I have always asked for pad and rotor thickness to be written on the service sheet before either is changed and have never had any issue with pads or rotors being done too early as a result.

If you ask for a 'logbook' service,and then don't bother to look at what is getting done,then its bad luck,they just do everything,thats pretty obvious.

I ALWAYS look through what they are going to do,before it is done.

As i have said,if it is corporate plan,fixed price,you are not going to save anything telling them not to do something,as it will already be in the cost and difficult to take out.

Toyota are the same,our work vans(once the fixed price servicing has run out) have a note that comes up on their computer, for each van, at each 'logbook' service,the pollen filter is not to be changed,and nor is the fuel filter on certain vehicles,the ones that run LPG.The tank has to be removed to replace the filter and is an expensive exercise.

Easy as,no issues at all.

I've just paid $259 for the parts from an indy to service my D4. These included:

• Oil Filter $30.00
• 6l Synpower oil $96
• Diesel Filter $98
• Air Filter $35

All parts are genuine except the MAHLE air filter. Didn't bother with the pollen filter. Still running factory brakes at 53k Km even after half of that towing.
