Default this is why i service things myself

hi guys

service light came on my vehicle a short while ago
rang dealer and asked how much for big service

£499
according to the dealer this includes

oil filter
air filters x 2
oil
spark plugs ( i pointed out its diesel and does'nt have spark plugs)
checks

was'nt happy with this
so bought he genuine parts myself and did the servicing myself

on the d4 to change the air filters you have to remove so aluminium braces for you to access the air filter box

heres what i found when i took lid off

doesnt look to me as though these have ever been changed
i have never ever seen as many leaves in an airbox as this and where i live is an open estate there are hardly any trees

checked the part numbers and yes ... sure enough they have been superceded and these are the original part numbers

with the filter removed
