    Default service intervals

    Just popped into the local stealers to discuss if I should have a service as I have done only 8000miles since the last one. The service was done one year ago. Thinking I was on the 20000 mile service plan I was surprised to learn that since I have a DPF the service interval is only 10000miles

    Yes I have an estate......

    Now to get my monies worth, what should I ask them to check ?

    There is nothing wrong with the car that I know of but I would like the usual faults checked. If you could advise me what to get them to check I will be grateful

    all CDTi estate's, signums and auto's have them, and so do 06 on manual's...

    hence why they are dying so much with the craze for tuning boxes, the DPF can't regenerate enough to remove the extra soot that the box produces..so VX have been forced to do a mod as they where barely any good when the engines are standard
