n00b basics: service questions

[Boyley]

Can someone explain the basics of a service to me IE

How often shall it be done, difference between interim and full, how often should you get full rather than interim

What's done at a service, cost etc

Sorry to be a pain only my cars just had a £1000 worth of damage due to contaminated fuel (warranty covered) so now in thinking the engine could do with a little TLC in the form of a service lol.

I got it about 6 months ago and done around 5k miles

Usually a service is 10.000 miles or 12 months and I would expect a lot would of been changed when it was repaired. All the info is in the service booklet if you have it with the user manual

Yes so far its been drained had new fuel filter, fuel metering valve and now new fuel pump. Also a diesel treatment

Would you say service it now or leave it?

A interim service would be oil change.. Oil filter change.. Pollen filter change..

Major service is like cambelt and waterpump etc
