Fiesta Ecoboost 4th year service

Hello,

I'm guessing that main dealer service and MOT of £350 is fairly crazy?

It is deemed as major, but still seems expensive to me!

Regards,

Are they changing timing belts or anything similar at that age?

Nope!

Did you own the car at two years old? Using Ford Etis I don't think they do anything different at 4 years to two. Pollen filter, oil filter and oil plus a brake fluid change if I remember correctly. I have just paid £220 for the 2nd service on an ST.

What's the difference between your service and the fixed price motorcraft major service quoted online? (Iirc it's about £230) I've never paid anywhere near your price for Ford to service our fiesta

Edit just had a look seems they've changed it and that will only offer a basic service now, however the site quoted our 6 year (which I'm sure includes brake fluid) as £275 - still a lump lower than you are seeing

I think changing the brake fluid is every two years. However, at 6 years isn't the air filter and spark plugs also included? Certainly, makes the service price of £300 (I am guessing circa that with the MOT test fee removed) is high.

Motocraft no longer do a major service, it's just a "motorcraft service" for £149. Spark plugs are extra, as is either the pollen filter or air filter (either one or the other is done, not both without extra charge)

I was using the Ford service booking site. It wasn't motorcraft, I'll have a look for that now.

The service itself is just about 300 then with the MOT that takes it up to 350ish.
