1st Service - Fuel system flush - kriswilson - 10-02-2015 02:45pm
Afternoon guys,
Just booked my SD4 Evoque in for its first service, got the service plan so looking forward to not having to fork out too much.
One thing that the service agent said though was that Land Rover recommend a complete fuel system flush and that this would result in better fuel economy, this additional procedure will be £39.99. Can anyone confirm that Land Rover do recommend this ? I cant see anything online.
I'm more than happy to pay the £39.99 to keep the car running well but want to make sure its not just smoke and mirrors.
Thanks,
Kris

Cant say I've come across this in the 3 services I've had, it may just mean they add some fuel injector cleaner to the fuel, I have had this done on my Previous car at a service, although after a year not sure it'll really be necessary, can't imagine it's that clogged up!

My one is due the 1st of march and got asked the same thing. I politely declined as i have never heard of this being really needed before. My 13 year old discovery i am pretty sure has not needed this and it still runs perfectly.

I recon a fuel filter change would bee more than enough.

I would politely decline too, it's just a way of removing £39.99 from your pocket into theirs.

Since 2008 I have owned FL2 and 2 x Evoques with this engine and never been offered fuel system flush at service time. No doubt £39.99 for a £3.99 bottle of stuff they just pour in the tank.
Another dealer scam like charging £3.99 in addition to the standard service for topping up the screen washer bottle - when you took the car in with it full!!

My first service didn't incude this neither was I asked or told about it, was the service agent wearing a mask and a stripy shirt when he mentioned it.

At neither my 1st nor 2nd service was I offered this. However I was offered it when booking the 3rd service but for £24.99 inc VAT
