60k Service C5

[phatp1p3]

I have a 2004 C5 VTR and its due soon for the 60K service. I have never owned a citroen before and was wondering what the 60K service includes and what is an average price to pay for the servcie.

 

Cheers

If you have the service book, it lists the things to be done/checked. There are some differences for petrol and diesel engines. Most likely items are air filter (every 40k miles), oil and filter change, cabin pollen filter, fuel filter drain or change at 40k miles if a diesel, spark plugs if a petrol, changing the brake fluid, other checks. Any work on brakes are extra to a service.

 

Costs vary on work done so you need to confirm what will be done - eg for older cars my dealer does a lube service changing the oil/filter and checks other items for £80 (which is good considering synthetic oil/filter/sump plug are over half this to do yourself and you do not have the bother of buying bits and disposing of the old oil), there is a next service up which also includes the air and fuel filter changes for about twice this cost. For younger cars a Citroen service I think is about £200.

I am on my 3rd Citroen, I had a BX 1.9 TRS, I then had a C5 Mk1 2.2 which had to be servived every 12,000, I now have a C5 2.0 Mk2 the main service is every 20,000, though I do an interum Oil and filter change every 10,000, for the small cost it perlongs the life of the Engine. :(
