40 000km dealer service

[WayneSchalk]

I took my Hilux in yesterday for the 40 000km service, the service consultant said it might take long as this is a major service.

2:30 I get a call to say the bakkie is ready. So I go pick it up, no bill as it is under service plan, all good. I get home and thought I'll have a look at the air filter as on the invoice they did not charge for a replacement.


So how do they decide when to change it, and would it not be best practice from them just to check it in any case?

Have a look below, that dirt is from shaking the filter a bit.

Your service booklet should state what gets replaced and when.

Use a black permanent marker to mark all service items with the km they have been replaced at. Never wonder again if things got replaced or not. Takes 5min to do after a service.

If I remember correctly the service schedule says the air filter should be replaced every 20 000 ks. So according to my understanding they should have replaced it now.

Airfilter is replaced at 30 000 km.


on 20 000 km I got my bakkie back with MUD in the air filter box .... NOT happy ...



on the flip side - check the gearbox and transfer case - they replaced these fluids on the 40 000km service.

jip, all oils including diff oil was changed, and even the aircon air filter was changed, but not the normal air filter :wth:

They gave me a call today and I told them about this, the lady called me back after talking to the service adviser and said that they visually inspected it and they think it is ok.

Ja ChrisF, daai is die word war ek wou gebruik het, maar is bang om 'n moer 'n moer te noem op 'n forum waar ons met engins werk. Wel, ek is nog nie eers daar nie, eers volgende week Dinsdag. met die laaste service het hulle vir my gesê my briekblokkies gaan nie nog 1000km maak nie, maar 10000km later ry ek nog lekker! Stealer se prys vir die part is R1104.12, AutoZn se prys is R750 vir "Safeline".
Is die blokkies ok?

[ChrisF]

PM vir Hoppy, seker hy sal beter raad kan gee oor die blokkies.

[rigardt]

interesting but thanks for the heads up. ours is a 2012 model and going for the 40 000 km service next week. I will insist they replace the filter since we do a lot of gravel travel.

Ek hou baie van die Bosch blokkies maar sukkel om dit te kry. Ek gebruik toe Ferodo wat nog altyd 'n goeie naam het. Ek vermoed hulle het die samestelling harder gemaak want die Ferodos neig om effens te fluit. Ek het Safeline op my vrou se Sportage CRDi gesit en is baie beindruk sovêr. Ek gaan hulle volgende keer op my lux probeer.
