mobilo

I know that lots of you will already know about MOBILO but I found it really useful over the Bank holiday weekend. My S class was showing an error with ABS,ESP,BAS and Pre-Safe. Also the steering was very heavy. So, I got home and called MOBILO (full dealer service record required)...

Hello All I have a low millage 2001 E320cdi Avantgarde Estate will full main dealer service history. My service booklet says its covered for rust (inside to outside) for 30 years from purchase date. I am confused by some people saying there is now an 8 year cut-off point for claiming on the...

What does the Mobilo cover for cars older than 2008 ? I have RAC as well that is very expensive, was thinking of changing it but then read this on the Moilo site... 'Mercedes-Benz Mobilo applies to vehicles registered on or after 1 April 2008, within the geographic area of validity. See...

MOBILO-LIFE and MOBILO There seems to be much confusion about Mobilo-Life and its replacement MOBILO. I hope this summary may help. Subject to terms and conditions on servicing at an MB dealer, all cars with Mobilo-Life or more recently Mobilo are covered for 30 years from 1st registration...

My 210 has gone in for accident repairs. The garage pointed out the amount of rust: all 4 wheel arches, boot and 2 doors. They suggested I take it to the main dealer and try a warranty claim. Although I have a full service history, it is largely from an independent specialist, which is why...

If you were under the impression that Mobilo was an adequate alternative to the AA, I'm afraid it isn't. I didn't renew my AA membership at the end of July thinking it was, but even with Service Plus it was hopeless when I had my first problem (moronically putting some petrol in a diesel car)...

SRS warning light came on during drive to work so I called Mobilo at about 7:30 this morning. Spoke to Sue who said that it would be OK to drive to the nearest dealer. I said I was unhappy with that so she said no problem, we will recover the vehicle to the dealer of your choice (Preston - 60...

I have two stone chips on the bonnet of the car which have started to go rusty. If I want to maintain the Mobilo do I need to get the repairs done at a MB approved paint shop? If I didn't use an MB approved paint shop will Mobilo still be unaffected should any other body panel start to...

As I posted elsewhere my contact at Mercedes says:- "With regards to MobiloLife, this product has now been replaced with "Mobilo" from 1st April 2008 for all new registrations and the website will be updated next week to reflect the changes. We plan within this update to publish a spreadsheet...

hi all, I hesistate to ask a series of what may be FAQs, especially after an extended absence from these forums, but... Our A class is just approaching 3 years old, and thus will be out of warranty soon. I was considering having it serviced at a local independent, but I now realise that...

After a big HooHa over the past month or so with my local dealer trying to get my claim put through. She has just informed that MB head office have told her that it's only cars after 2000 which are protected by the rust warranty. She argued on my behalf with them saying it states 30 years from...

Hi Have a 2002 c class sport coupe full MBSH when I bought it from a non MB dealer they did an oil change plus put a stamp in service book now its ready for a A service (18months later) rang my local MB to book in and was told I may not have the right to any claims under Mobilo Life or good will...

Yesterday evening at about 5.00pm I had to call out Mobilo as the car was leaking coolant all over the place by the time I got home. They told me that they would not be able to send a Merc technician at that time but they could have the car recovered by an external recovery company and taken...

hi there folks just wondering.... I have a really bad discolouring on my garnish mouldings mentioned earlier in this site and am looking into perhaps confronting mercedes about having them replaced. I think there only covered for 3 years but this seems an extreme case where ALL 4! are the same...

My accelerator issue has reared it's ugly head yet again despite the dealer saying they found a loose connection in the engine bay and could replicate the fault:rolleyes::rolleyes:. Prior to this 3rd visit I had an ECU fitted in the second visit:eek: and an accelerator pedal fitted in the...

Bought my '99 CLK320 about 2 months ago and my "friend" recently took great pleasure in pointing out a rust bubble on the wing. I hopped on the old interweb to search for quick fixes and stumbled across the many threads here regarding the apparently poor corrosion resistance of Mercedes in...

..well, won't start :( and stuck in my garage .. which doesn't help matters ! Very disappointing .. never had this on any of my 3 mercs ! Was hoping not to have to put Mobilo to the test, but this will be my first experience with them ! They were called 15 mins ago ... lets see how quickly...

My 53 reg A170 has had 3 services done so far, the first one at an independant (why????) and the other 2 @MB dealers. Upon purchasing the car I checked with the local dealer who advised me that provided the car's last service was with MB it was covered by Mobilo Life. I then contacted MB...

My car is a 1999 on a T W210 E280. I have had my share of tin worm repairs to the car, all paid for on the Mobilo paint warranty. The car has done 165000 miles now and has a full MB service history. My query is, at the last gtg at Ollie's brilliant workshop, it was mentioned that MB will only...

Quick question about the 30-year mobilo paint waranty, is every C43 covered by it? I've seen in a few threads that you need a full MBSH not to void it, so my car is OK for that, but I cannot find anywhere in my car's papers saying it has the 30-year paint cover. Just found a couple of small...
