With my new van I'm considering doing all the servicing my self. By servicing I mean basic stuff like oil, oil filter, air filter and fuel filter changes and some brake work. Any more intricate or specialist work I'll leave for a garage or the appropriate specialist.
My worry is the legal side of it. I know you DO NOT have to have the vehicle serviced at a Citroen Dealer to retain the warranty but I believe it has to be serviced as per manufactures service schedule with original parts. What would the legal status be if I servied it my self with all original parts with receipts and the correct oil? (Total Quartz Ineo ECS 5W30 Engine Oil in this case)
Could any one point me in the right direction for the exact wording of the legal requirement? I believe the use of non dealer servicing is allowed due to a European Court Ruling or a European law if I'm not mistaken?
Thanks in advance
