MG ZT 2nd Service

Leeds_Fella · 26th July 2007, 22:35

Hi guys and gals again, 2nd post so be kind.....

My MG ZT CDTI needs a 2nd service (its at 13.5K miles and 2 years in Sept) - car is telling me it needs an oil change. I've been quoted £135 + VAT for:

Oil

change
Oil, air, pollen filter change
brake fluid change
new batteries in key fobs
Service counter reset
General

check of the car.

Is this about right and a decent cost? Garage is a MG-Rover specialist in Yorks - seem to know thier stuff.

Cost seems fair enough to me,
mind you never heard of changing fob batteries unless indicated required.
Lates a Trusted and used by many members could also carry this out, and his prices are well worth the trip.
www.lates600.com or PM him (lates).

Lates changed my fob batteries on the two year service. Price looks OK depending on where in the country you are.

Yes GG Thanks,
I've just seen it listed on on the Latest Service sheets for ZT/75's.
So is clear Plenum Drains, which was not on the earlier ones.

That price seems pretty good to me

Here's the official MG schedule.

If your garage covers half of this list, I guess you're lucky.

EDIT: Oh yes, the fob batteries are scheduled too.

I am unsure if that service sheet was the latest type available. It isnt the sheet we use.

It isn't the latest one as we have discussed before but it is a very good guide. Must get a copy of the later one for our archives.

The later edition is slightly more comprehensive and sets the schedules in a simpler format, but basically they are the same. Jobs not specifically intemised in the old sheet are as follows:

Renew fob battery
Check windscreen & wipers
Check operation of A/C controls
Lube locks & hinges
Pressure test cooling system
Inspect A/C system
Clear plenum drains
T4 error codes

I compared the old sheet referred to above with my last Dixon Rover service invoice. The Check Sheet is dated September 2004.
