Then again, just about anything would be better than your previous Grande Punto :rofl:
Sorry mate ;)

Blegh... but I will say that Punto was reliable & quick while I owned it.
No Hyundai i30 could get close.
194Bhp and 260ft lbs torque, returning an average of 52Mpg. Diesel of course.

Did it get a telegram from the Queen?
-
No, as she's only really done 95,300

Just been quoted ~£360 for the same scope of service :Shocked:
Looks like I've got to shop around more!

£100 more.
Do you live North West or it would even pay you to have a day trip to Blackpool and double up with the service.

What belts would these be? :eek:
The fifth item on the schedule I posted ("engine tuning belt") is for the 2L only

So glad you said that. I thought I must have missed something in my understanding of the diesel. :-[
-
I only ever had Petrol cars and timing belt / cam chains and water pumps often changed at like 60 / 70mls a big service normally cost an arm and a leg :eek:
So do Diesel cars not have these ? Enlighten me please :happydance:

They all have water pumps, and the timing chain will last much longer than any toothed belt will. The timing chain is a duplex one, that is, effectively two chains in parallel, the very much preferred option to timing belts.

Hi Shambles
Just out of interest have you had the discs changed yet ? mine are comming up to 60k and are 'lipped' (front & rear) so will need replacing soon, pads last about 35k but mainly town driving.
-
Original discs. Original pads. No wear on anything brake-related :)
My motorway driving %age means I don't tend to brake that often, so wear will be minimal anyway :)
-
Brakes? What brakes?
When I sold mine at 136,000 kms the brakes hadn't been touched.
By a mechanic that is, they were by me, when I braked, if you know what I mean. :undecided:

It is more than just motorway driving. Well done
-
Well done Shambles and dbo8 you must have light feet to get that that distance from the pads ! or my wife has lead feet ! (she drives it 90% of the time )
