Lots of conversations used to come about years ago when this came up;
Do you buy Genuine Peugeot filters when you service your car?
A service kit for a 2.0 HDi can be had for about £20, whereas Peugeot have just quoted me £48.36 plus £30 for 5L of oil (Total Quartz 10W40)
What's your opinion?
It's interesting listening to my father in law who is a mechanic by trade and as such gets big discounts from motor factors. With his involvement you'd have thought I could save lots of money, but back when I last serviced my Toyota Celica I managed to get the genuine parts from Toyota for less than he got a price for!
Everyone says 'OEM quality' on their adverts, but some parts are always worth buying from the dealer, as they are generally a better fit and finish from experience.
For me I think these parts include both the oil and fuel filters. Everything else is pretty generic. A fuel filter from Pug is £18.74 and an oil filter £10.69
The air filter I may leave as it's another £17.93 on top, for what is basically a bit of paper. But at least it will fit nicely.
What are your thoughts / opinions?
