Servicing for W204

[blackmercs]

Can save if buy parts from stockist like Min Ghee?

Ca!! why not if you know what to buy then get yr regular workshop to replace it.

[Odessus]

Actually if we miss regular servicing at C&C will they use it as an excuse for voiding warranty?

[tsktsk]

I remember reading in the old forum that when service B notice comes on we can opt to tell cnc to just carry out service A... Any one tried this?

[Atlantis]

Can we bring our own engine oil when we service at C&C?

[Cklasse]

I have been doing this 15k for 30k service since my W168 and continue to W203, and it's gonna be the same for the current W204.

[Rascal]

I've spoken to one of the service staff in C&C & he told me that if we do service at outside workshop, the warranty will not be voided if we use all original parts & oil as in C&C. Any bros aware of this??

I am doing my 60,000 service this Tuesday in a Tampines workshop which is owned & staffed by ex Mercedes & BMW personnel. Will keep you all informed once its done.

Great! I'm planning to do that when I go for servicing at C&C (still a long way from 15k cos I'm at 1.5k only.. haha).

In either case, does the W204 need 5 or 6 quarts?

Thanks mod cklasse

I think you might want to get a black and white from that service staff in C&C stating that.

IMHO, whether use original parts or not, MUST go back to AD for scheduled servicing ie 15,000, 30,000, 45,000 etc, if warranty is to be GUARANTEED. And it applies to all ADs. Having said that, can do minimal like oil change only, but as I mentioned, that's the minimum to guarantee the warranty.

Just call pandan loop about bringing own filter and engine oil for servicing and the reply I get a BIG FAT NO

Called MBC previously, they said can bring own engine oil but no own parts for servicing

Called pandan loop previously before I made the appointment for servicing A, they can say can bring own engine oil and filter.

Look like the customer servicing standard of C&C is dropping

Any bros who went to pandan loop servicing and brought alot their own engine oil n filter recently. Got rejected?

[Arshavin]

Labour cost will be charged. 120 bucks per hour. Later still need include GST

Any actual cost savings then? If not much can use the oil then oil change at 7,500 km interval again?

[Arshavin]

I am just asking about bringing my own shell engine oil and engine oil filter for servicing.

Barney I don't get your question

Sorry my england no good. Example. If bring own oil and filter, bill adds up to $3xx. Oil change is $4xx. Then just do all there. Can do oill change after 7,500km. Meaning 2 oil changes for every 15,000. Many people driving turbo, supercharge cars do that.

Now C&C mention if we bring own parts n oil for servicing, our warranty will be void.

Suddenly I feel C&C becomes AVIVA

Lol, actually I was surprised C & C allowed customers to bring their own parts and oil in the first place. No choice bro, ur car under warranty. Part of the cost of ownership for buying from AD to keep warranty intact. I believe not much difference from bringing own oil too.

[Arshavin]

Ya. So I will just be a good kid n obey C&C orders

Just nob my head and YES SIR
