F30 320d Uber Service’s
Posted: Mon Oct 28, 2019 7:47 am
Last week a guy contacted me and asked if we could assist with the following on one of his working cars, an F30 Bmw 320d which he runs as an Uber.
He mentioned that he has owned the car for a year now and in that time it’s done 70000kms . He use to take the vehicle to another mechanic but stopped going to him and contacted me instead due to trust issues with that guy.
So we arranged for him to drop the car off and we got to work.
We start off by making sure the battery is charged enough to run diagnostics without damaging any electronics
Running diagnostics
First round showed some issues
Some stores error codes
After we finished diagnostics the tree was green again and there were no stored errors.
Next up, we got the service items ready
For a car that’s been getting serviced regularly, this filter looks nasty . Guess this is what he meant when he said he had trust issues with the previous mechanic
Hectic
Oil filter
Factory instructions
New vs old fuel filter
Marked the new filter and installed it
Pollen filter also in such a state
Filled oil
Checked level
Inspected underneath, suspension, mounts, bushes, gearbox, diff, drive line
And then we were done. Owner collected and was very chuffed with the service.
