+The petrol tank lid just fell off when a petrol filling station attendant was trying to lift it for filling. It was then discovered that the oart (lid) was actually glued onto the fuel tank cover frame.
+ The problem was reported and vehicle sent in to the M/B service center for inspection and rectification. It was left with the service center for 2 full days, just to be temporarily rectified by strapping the lid on to the fuel tank cover frame with some masking tape. I was advised to come back for the complete rectification when the service center received the replacement parts from M/B.
+ 3 weeks passed and there was no news from the service center. When served with a notice that I would have the problem fixed by an outside workshop at the expense of M/B or the service center, the service center test message me to inform that the parts had finally arrived from M/B, and had been sent out to another center for painting. I was assured that as soon as the service center receives the painted parts back, I would be informed to come back for fixing.
+ another 3 or 4 weeks passed without any progress. When I called in to inquire on the status, I was informed that should send in the vehicle to the service center for it to be sent to another center for painting. I was expected to take about 4 days from the date I send in.
+ this is most ridiculous excuse for whatever reason best known to the service center -- first the confirmation to paint the replacement parts (the lid), then the need to send in the car for painting after fixing the lid. Presumable it was to ensure a close shade between the weathered body paint color and that of the newly painted lid. But I never complain as long as the original color paint is used on the lid, even though there could be possibility of contrasting tone / shade between the new and the weathered body color; I am quite confident the different color tone would not be sharply visible as I maintain my car well, including body color with periodic polishing and waxing protection on the car body paint.
