Featured Replies

hi got my 30k service 2moz.im i right in thinking that the air fliter is going 2 get changed?i have the green fliter on and i clean it often.should i just tel them to leave it?plus if i have 2 change it then the strut brace has 2 come off.

Any help will be greatful

Thanks Ben:thumbup:

Air Filter is 40k IIRC.

Telling them you have fitted an aftermarket filter will make them angry and shout at you :D :D :D :D

Seriously though, when you do come to your 40k, you may want to change the filter on the service for your warranty to still be intact (Not 100% on this but it would strike me as the way they play it, I notice you are South Wales based, does this mean you will be using Captiol?)

Therefore you would take the green out an put the old one back in for the service. It may seem like a waste of time and money so hopefully someone will be along shortly to tell you otherwise but some dealers can be funny about the service sheduale. As for the strut brace they should really remove one side of if to get in to the box. Even my dealer has had no issue with doing this several times. Capitol is the place I use and they seem to be "ok" with my VRS's little additions.

I have 2 add, u have a keyboard in front of u, it wont wear out quicker if u use all the keys :)

^ love the last line :)

thanks decron.service went ok.I left the brace on. i get it serviced at LHT in swansea.

I just used to tell my dealer that the air filter did not need changing at the service and they would just deduct the air filter and labour cost from the quote :D Never had a problem (or my performance filter go missing!) :D

I'm a bit confused as to why you'd need to remove the strutbrace before you can get to your air filter?

AFAIK you have to lift the N/S or remove the strut brace to be able to lift the cover off the air filter box to access the air filter
