Peugeot 508 2.0 HDi 180 Service/Maintenance

Carrying out the first service since i bought this 2015 Peugeot 508 SW 2.0 180 GT Automatic.

I bought the car with 47,000 miles from an Arnold Clark Dealer. It had a problem with the drivers side heated seat which would be fixed under their warranty at a local Peugeot dealership. Strangely it got a BSI update and came out with a service overdue message by 15,000 miles. The service history book said it was last done at 44,000 miles.

Judging by what come out of the car i think it was good to have done this as soon as possible. The oil seemed thin, the diesel horrible, coolant old and air filter dirty. Im not sure exactly what the previous services included as the book only shows stamps with no specific details as to what work was carried out.

All in this service cost less than £80 to do myself, the oil cost £40 delivered and other items were no more than £40. Servicing is still a big part to ensuring a car lasts a long time without serious trouble and especially on more modern engines it is worth keeping them maintained and ignoring the stupidly long intervals in favour of shorter intervals to ensure the car lasts longer.

This 2.0 engine is probably used in quite a few other PSA cars as well as some fords.
