That is crazy.I was going to pay for the first oil change on my diesel before the 20K miles free service. I was quoted $840 from the dealer. I guess I am not doing it...
Something has to be wrong with that. They must have included other work for that price. Call the service manager & get this clarified. I know MB service is on the outrageous side, but this is clearly over the top. Miscommunication somewhere here.I was going to pay for the first oil change on my diesel before the 20K miles free service. I was quoted $840 from the dealer. I guess I am not doing it...
Which Fumoto did you put on there?I love the fumoto valve on my T1N. I keep my empty jugs from the previous change and, using a few inches of vinyl tube, can drain the oil directly into the jugs.
OR simply phone around to another dealer or specialist shop..Do it yourself. The Sprinter is the easiest vehicle I've ever changed the oil on...
I think F106N. The long "nipple" to fit the tubing over. I also bought a F106SX later to replace that, so I could get the positioning better, but never got around to installing it. This is on 2004 T1N, so better check fitment for newer models.Which Fumoto did you put on there?
Unfortunately Fumoto doesn't have the newer models in their "vehicle finder" search thing, but if you know the size and thread pitch of the drain bolt, you can just browse their stock to find a compatible valve. I don't know anything about the VS30s, but I'd kinda be surprised if the drain bolt wasn't the same M14-1.5 as the T1N.Would love to confirm the Fumoto valve for the VS30 V6 diesel...
They are gouging you. Tell them you ONLY want oil and filter changed. Nothing else. They are trying to sell you a service that involves a whole lotta nothing.I was going to pay for the first oil change on my diesel before the 20K miles free service. I was quoted $840 from the dealer. I guess I am not doing it...
This is a good analogy but against what you're saying, not for it.OR simply phone around to another dealer or specialist shop..
Really, Its a bit like wanting to buy a short order "eat", like hamburger & fries (Yuk, not my preferred "eat" enough to make me vomit, but many do!)
Same ingredients more or less and cook time the same.
Price at McDonald's $8,50 with menu pricing, big gulp with that ?
Down the road at The Marriot or Trump Tower its $30,00 for the same and the "big gulp" is included with the bill..
Only difference is the surroundings and the flowery reception.
And an odd occasional extra bene like a an individual alka seltzer for the indigestion on paying $800 odd plus tax for an oil change. (if that was all it was quoted for!).
At your service Sir!
