320td coolant and brake fluid renewal

[Patrick Bateman]

Any ballpark figures on what each of those would cost at a specialist?

Can't find anything other than DIY guides scouring the internet. Prices for dealers seem to be around £120-£150 for coolant renewal.

Just had the brake fluid changed on my 335d at Forza West, think it was 39 quid, inc everything.

That's not bad at all, thought it would have cost a bit more.

I've booked my car into a local BMW specialist now for an oil service, fuel and air filter renewal, new thermostat and oil breather as well as the above work.

People on forums are suggesting anywhere from £300 to over £500 although I'm not sure what to expect.

I'd figure oil service ~£125, fuel and air filters say £40 combined, thermostat £50, oil breather £40. Labour at £45/hour and just have to wait and see what the cost of the coolant and brake fluid will be.

Won't get the coolant, thermostat and breather until the New Year as they couldn't get the parts before next week and they're off on holiday.

Got the oil, all filters and brake fluid done.

£288 total for parts and labour.

I'd be expecting another £200-250 for the rest.

Pollen filter- £23
Fuel Filter- £20
Air Filter- £26
Oil Filter- £14
Oil-£67
Brake Fluid Change- £41
Labour- £98 (A bit over £45/hour)

I've rounded them all to the nearest pound. Pretty sure all filters were bought from the local dealer.
