I have just put another page on my site A160 ‘A’ & ‘B’ service schedules (Page 47) and having gone through my receipts from MB discovered that they have been putting fuel cleaner in my car without my approval or knowledge.
I contacted the branch and it was confirmed that the product was not produced by MB nor was it approved by them, when I asked why it was put in I was just “well we have always done it”. MB servicing is expensive anyway, this adds another £12.98 to the bill, how do other owners feel about this and is it being put in your car without you knowledge??.
I'm also concerned, because I have been using my own brand (used for many years) this means there has been a doubling up of fuel cleaners, which may not even be compatible, also I now concerned! Did this in anyway contribute to my mass air flow sensor failing at 29000 miles?
I have now contacted MB head office to find out what their policy is, I’m awaiting their answer.
