I have a question for one our our Indie friends
MY C350 which sits tucked up in the garage 80 % of the time is just turning 4 and the service indicator suggests it needs a B service and transmission oil change.
It has 34,000 miles from new, service wise it also saying that it will need a fuel filter too.
I'll have the B service done
My question is, while its not going to do any harm, at 34,000 miles is it really necessary just yet ?
My last E class was a so called 'sealed for life' transmission, we all know what happened to them.
In just over 12 months and 3000 miles on from my last dealer service, if i wait until the anniversary month the scope of the service due to time, will be the wrong side of £1200 at my friendly MB dealer.
( it wont be going there )
Thanks
