The Surprising Servicing Costs of my A45S AMG...

[@mrvolkswagon1710]

Still can’t believe people think £250 for a quick oil change that takes 30 mins is good value. Mental what people pay

[@saynotothegreatreset]

I order everything from auto doc and do it my self, I won't this kind of money for an oil change 😊

[@iCozzh]

Literally. £70 to do the oil and pollen filter yourself on your drive

[@papshank73]

I’m pretty sure these A45s take 8.5 litres of oil (tho he did say 5 in the vid). Merc oem oil at £70 for 5 ltr......if it’s 8.5 then about £120 just for oil. 1 hour labour for that and the filter......£250 sounds about right, no?

[@seanpaul3050]

Oil change. Do yourself. Save £200 towards something else. You did say it was a long drive to EST. So saving on petrol too.

[@suhail1200]

That's correct 8.5l and £70 for 5 litres. £250 ain't bad when u look at supercars charging £1000 for it 😂

[@tngautomotive7870]

B1 service is oil and filter and brake fluid change not a minor service will include cabin filter aswell

[@suhail1200]

UK is just behind on the tuning game. There is tuners In Russia and USA with stage 2/+ making 550-600 bhp stock turbo on these. Doing 1/4 mile in 10.2-10.7s.

[@martynrollinson]

And blowing up regularly...😂

[@havefun1226]

Fastest a45s does 1/4 mile 10.9

[@DylanRF7]

Unfortunate very common on the pollen filters being fitted incorrectly, see it all to often, think apprentices must fit them 😂 please tell me the oil was .71 oil as thats critical, loving the videos!

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

Good to keep it all serviced and fresh, my c63 w205 is due to major service merc quoted £1428 😢, so did service plan for 2 year at £1512 for 2x services, when needs must 😀 great content luke 👍

[@RandomGuy-ej9gr]

Change it your self more often and keep the receipts as proof. You’re not only saving money but you know exactly what goes in and when.

[@STEVEBHPDEVON]

@@RandomGuy-ej9grmine has full merc history why ruin it now, will make it more desirable when I come to sell it and only covered 15k miles 👍

[@zayd55]

The Merc service plan is very worthwhile and can actually work out cheaper than a specialist over the course of a few services. When you also factor in the fact that you also get an MOT and the highest level of breakdown cover it's not expensive when you contrast it against the car you have. My A35 had the common cylinder head fault and as I have full dealer service history, Mercedes breakdown came out and I was allowed to jump wait times, getting my car at their workshop the very next day. They also delivered a brand new GLA to my home, which I drove for 10 days whilst mine had the redesigned head fitted under the extended warranty cover. I extensively researched about performing all the routine services myself and managed to obtain actual workshop service checklists, oil grade charts for various engines and so on. What I learnt was that very specific oils, especially for the differentials are used and if you have the pan roof, there's even a special lubricant and grease that must be used. When you think of how much money you've spent on buying such a car, why take the risk of screwing something up. Modern cars are far too finicky, requiring exact parts and maintenance regimes to keep operating optimally.

What is your insurance company’s attitude and premium difference taking into account the mods ?

[@jasonpoole6284]

Doesnt matter his mum pays for every thing.

[@hpman911]

[@ScottPC]

Get a specialist Modified policy. Works out cheaper sometimes as they know your looking after the car. (Mines cheaper with mods)

[@theexperience5549]

I’ve got a modded Golf GTI with Adrian Flux specialist insurance. £350 a year 😅

[@jonathonbrett-qn1ic]

Your merc is a lovely car stunning Makes a nice change paying a reasonable sum of money for a service. Look forward to the next episode Thank you

[@katlegobotopela1648]

Great car but what do you think of the tire noise. Is it that bad?

[@youtubejunkie8053]

Surprised you don’t change your own oil for this reason. I change mine every 5k and couldn’t imagine how much I would of spent over the last 80k

[@Rampage1Rules]

Better when it comes to selling the car

[@R19Robbin]

The A45 sounds crazy 🔥🔥

[@saso525]

I dont understand comparison E92 m3 with a45. They cant be compared, even If the m3 takes more money. A45 is mundane for 2023.

[@jasoncowling3960]

Where did you get the brake callipers painted??

Take this to mischa be nice to see him rip it up around the nordschleife

[@TheVeenmeister]

Will overheat just like the Golf. After a few goes on the quarter mile at Santa Pod it already had raising temps. Let alone if you go around the ring. The uphill part will be the main issue.

[@Alfie.Goalkeeping]

Merc charge £380 for B1 so that's decent

He likes to go to these “Dick Turpin “ garages then comes on YT moaning! Take all my BM’s to the main dealer, get amazing workshop rates as I have 6 M-Powered cars…. Maybe he should talk to his local dealer, he might get a shock!!🤔

Fun fact the charge cooler has been removed from the 45s that are manufactured 2022 onwards
