time for a service

**danno91** · 10th October 2011, 19:32

how hard is it to do a service myself on a 2004 vectra 1.9cdti 150bhp as i dont have the money atm

the biggest part im worried about is a oil change
air filter (easy)
fuel filter (not to sure)

what else should i be doing??

I did my own service this year too.

- Oil change
- Oil filter
- Air filter
- Pollen filter

You could do a fuel filter but I'm like you I'm not sure where it is and how easy it is to do. I also flushed my engine with an engine flush before putting in the new oil.

I can do you a full service if your interested - and close to Ashford, Middlesex.

Will be much cheaper than dealer prices etc and I use only dealer parts,

Good man

Well for a full service I would:
Oil Change (5w30 GM Fully Synth)
Oil Filter
NEW Sump plug and washer
Air Filter
Pollen / Cabin Filter
Fuel filter
Brake Fluid check and change if needed (If its 2 years or more old - change the brake fluid anyway)
Coolent Check and change if needed - again, I change after 2 years old, but you 'can' leave the GM orange/pink in for 5 years - I dont..
Full vehicle inspection
Vehicle diagnostics and DTC readings using Vaux-Com / Tech II
Grease points greased
Drains checked and cleared

...happy to offer you any advice needed.
