Service and Cleaning pointers



  H22A7 Accord Type R


ok, number 1 - my 1.2 16v went in for its 18K service last week. All seems well, no bodywork has been damaged, fluid levels are up, pretty impressed. Until i go to change my, what should be, new air filter for my newly oiled panel filter. I put the standard filter back in for the service, it was a little dirty lol. So should this have been changed for a new filter at 18,000 miles??? I thought an air filter change was a standard fit, especially for £150??? Yea, i know i dont use it, but thats not the point is it???? Should i give them some lip guys n gals??? Priciples!!!

Next, having spent a good 6hours on the car yesterday, polishing it and bumper care etc for next weekend at trax, i got to the interior. Now out of interest, have any of you lot ever set the vaccum to the head lining???? I dont this by accident and was amazed to see an OBVIOUS colour change in the fabric! i couldnt believe it! it was going 5 shades lighter!!! So, i had to do it all lol!!! Never thought about doing this before. I dont smoke or anything, must just be a year and a halfs worth of crap coming in through open windows and sunroofs etc!! Try it, you may be surprised!!!

Disclaimer:- Tests were carried out with a Dyson multi-suction lol!!!

another thing, i aint sure what the cliosport plans for trax are, but if you lot are going down, will any of the merchandise be there?? I need one of those tax disc holders if they are still in production

If they charged you for it the air filter should be on the bill along with the oil, oil filter, pollen filter and all the other bits they used. They probably looked at it and knew that there was no point changing it. As long as they didnt charge you theyve done you a favour.
 


yeah but the garage dont know he doesnt use it, yes should have a new one in there, complain, i would, ask just what exactly it is they are supposed to have done for £150
