Hi, I'm new to the Forum. Quite annoyed at servicing costs for our vehicles from main dealers. Recently paid lots for a 24000 mile service and I doubt if the oil was even changed. So I'm now doing it myself and stuff the warranty. Found the van quite easy to work on although I left the fuel filter be. Has anyone attempted this item? What did you use to open the filter? It looks a little on the flimsy side. Are the arrows for indicating the opening direction?
Also, I presume the service intervals are 12000 miles officially, though at 3litres sump capacity and the way these engines rev, I'm opting for an oil change every 6000. 25 litres of high quality turbo diesel oil at Costco is £21, so no problems there. Great vehicles they are, mine is just over a year old and has just done 35000miles.
Finally: Parts or lack of them. Expensive or what? Paid over £21 for the fuel filter. Does anyone know where we can buy genuine parts at affordable prices?
Even more finally: Impossible to find a copy of Workshop Manual CD covering the Doblo 1.3 Multijet. Any of you good people out there do me a copy if you have 1?
Cheers,
Sconebum
