servicing

[afcbadam]

can anybody tell me what is involved in the servicing

1. oil service- obvisually oil and filter change
2. inspection service-??????????????????????

what does the inspection service include. is it plugs and filters ect

[arwilson80]

I don't know for certain but i'd say it's not a lot more than it says... a visual inspection with no work carried out. You may get a list of 'To do's' at the end.

Kev posted up a service sheet in PDF format in this thread, that tells you exactly what should be done

http://themgzs.co.uk/vb/showthread.php?t=3815&page=2&highlight=service+sheet

it's about half way down the page

[arwilson80]

But Ross, that doesn't answer the question "What is an inspection service?". Which is what (i think) was being asked.

[Maxxed_Ross]

If you look at the sheet is covers all the parts that should be inspected, so I recon it does answer the question - assuming that's what the question was :spider:

Inspection consists of:-

Body Corrosion
Paint Work

so in a way its kind of an MOT without the paperwork!

I had a service last week but never had a inspection service

[afcbadam]

i dont remember it been it my zs service book. just wondered as i have the zt turbo now and its in there. ment to have a oil service then inspection service and so on. i really cant remember what my book for the zs was like but thought it was just service spaces

Eh? Your car will tell you what service is needed!! If you look on page 2 it explains the maintenance plan,...
Year 1 : Oil service (A)
Year 2: Inspection (B)
Year 3: Oil service (A)
Year 4: Inspection (D)
Year 5: Oil service (A)
Year 6: Inspection (C)
etc etc..

So if you go down the checksheet on page 1 every tick box in the A column is what is done on service A, every tickbox under B column is what is done on Inspection B, etc etc etc


So just asking for a 'standard service' will miss things like pollen filters, brake fluid changes etc...

Yeah, with the R75 and ZT the display counts down from 15,000 miles to 0 (Zero), but it wont tell you what service is needed though.

i get a standard service every year and every 2 years i have pollen filter break and coolant changes. with plugs and air filter of course.

[KevG]

You Change your plugs every 2 years, they get changed every 40k, some with the air filter
