Hi.....Can anyone confirm that the new A Class with the Renault engine has to be topped up with oil every 1000km or so. Were not told this before purchase which might have made a difference. Mercedes tell me this is 'normal' but were VERY reluctant to do so. They still haven't given an explanation, just it's 'normal'. Well it hasn't been 'normal' on the other 14 Mercs I bought over the years. Had a long chat with the sales manager at our local dealership and he admitted that they've been bad at explaining this to potential customers......or are they just hiding this until they've got the deal done?
Have written to Gary Savage about this but the response was 'no fault found' with the car. BUT, no explanation as to why this particular model needs a regular oil top up other than from very helpful technicians who agree that potential customers should be informed and about the reason why.
