Hello fellow members!
Just joined this forum even though I've had my 1.2 500s for about a year. I'm hoping to get some insight on the service schedule for the car as it is extremely confusing!
So the car is registered March 2014 (although build August 2013 I think). The dealer has actually given me a manual for a twin air 0.9 instead of a 1.2 (which I just realised!) and reading on google i'm getting confusing messages. I see on one hand that its every 18k miles/2 years but also see some sites showing 9k miles/1 year. I called the dealer and they said 18k miles/ 2 year. Personally I'm thinking about going for minor service this year and major service next year, then minor, then major etc (if I keep it that long!). I don't think servicing a 500 every other year is healthy for the car (no offence, they're not the most reliable of cars). Also a bit surprised minor service is £149 & major is £299, thats pretty steep!
The car is mostly driven around town with occasional long drives and under 6k miles a year.
Any help would be useful!
Thanks!
