At my recent service I had coolant & brake fluid replaced Beany, along with all my filters, inc pollen filter. Oil changed as well.

Damn, why are they telling me it just needs an oil change? and why is it more expensive than other years where they do more?
I was planning to do it myself but now im not so sure.

I asked for that to be done mate. Hadnt been done prior, so I instructed the garage to do the Service to the Fiat schedule for the age / mileage AND do the other stuff for my peace of mind.

brake fluid is every 2 years (36k), 3rd year service is similar to first with addition EVAP system check. Basically its a cheap service (£99)
If at end of warranty get all the "bits" that you are not happy with sorted and ALL the s/w updates
