More than 2 months later the service still hasn’t been done. What’s irritating is that it’s only because I phone to check whether parts have arrived the night before that I find out that they haven’t and that i/t’s cancelled. My Mercedes dealer is as bad.
It’s the fuel filter that they’re waiting for, and could be NLA. Smart’s alternative suggestion is to fit a new tank including the fuel filter, as the dealer won’t fit non-original parts. It’s scheduled for replacement every 4 years!
So today I have booked it in with a Smart specialist for the same full monty service, plus even more (as the Smart main dealer don’t service the transmission, but the specialist does:
- C-service
- Air filter
- Fuel filter
- Spark plug
- Brake fluid
- Coolant
- Transmission fluid
- Aircon re-gas
- Poly V belt
Once that’s done I’ll take it to the Smart main dealer for a basic A service with no additional items, so I maintain the fully stamped Mercedes/Smart main dealer history.
I’m making it even more perfect so I can charge
@MikeInWimbledon even more when he buys it from me
