Corrosion Query

[FrankP]

Hi,
The weather has finally relented and I spent an enjoyable afternoon polishing my 53 plated C class 220 CDI.

I spoted a couple of tiny bits that looked like corroson. One above the drivers door and another bit near the base of the A pillar on the drivers side. It looks like a bit of corrosion. Although I cant see any break in the paint just a bit of crinkles in he paint about 1mm wide.

As the car has a full MB service History is this somethng I can get the dealers to look at to see if it is covered under the corrsion warrenty. Or shoudl I call MB customer services first?

Thanks

Frank

Hi there

If there is no obvious 'man made' damage take it straight to MB to get looked at. They will take pics and send off to be looked at.

Do not let them fob you off! Persevere and it will be fixed if it's down to them. I have had 3 alloys and two strips across the roof (roof rack strips) replaced.

Good luck
Len

Oh if only you'd bought a 2004 car. Not to worry though your MB dealer will sort this out for you up to 8 years old.
