2020 , last of the V6's 4x4's ...

Was sitting in Qld for a year cos the bloke who bought it to make into a campervan ended up in USA and with covid ,Oz gone nuts with tennis stars, nanny states, he ended up gunna stay here :D

So the van was up for sale and I got it... :) Now sittin in humid Qld, I got a mob called Auto King to give her an oil and filter change, she only had 700 klm on the clock , cant be too careful ...!!!

Got hum to check for snakes and rats etc under the bonnet, just found a green tree frog... all good ... I bought this sight unseen ,but the pics looked ok ...

So fly up there with SWMBO , the owner was back in OZ sellin all his stuff and house in the gold coast , so he got us from the airport and we did the deal... all good so far cept for the weather...

So we finally get to Dubbo but on the way a message comes up on the dash "Reduce engine oil quantity, over full" WTF :o ... Just did 700 k's and no message ,why now FFS ...???

WELL, rang the turkey that did the job ... "I filled it to the right level, (COLD I imagine) check for an oil leak :o ,add more oil "

So I rang my bloke here in Adelaide ,Bill Luca ... He said "drain at least a litre straight away, it is over full" ,clown put 12 odd litres in (was on the bill )
"find a work shop and get em to crack the sump plug, drain a litre bla bla"

HMM... thought bugger that (this thing has no dup stuck, all electronic, 1/2 the problem, too fkn fancy :evil: ) too hard, so found a Merk dealer Dubbo Mercedes :D told em what was going on , a fine young man comes out , clicks up the menu off the steering wheel, oil over full :evil:

OK sir, we can suck out a litre for you with our pump, (oil level must be checked at op temp, which clown never did...!!! )

Please go to the lounge area and help your selves to a coffee (a bloke there got the coffee and bickies for us)

1/2 a hour later , sir ,your key , "Ok , what do I owe ya " ;) nothing mate , enjoy , glad to help ... :D :)

HOW GOOD WAS THAT ... and now home and hosed ...!!!

Hi Vik it is great when you get good service and a good recommendation for the company as well. Trust you have no more problems on the way home.

Also good when you have a great mechanic at home. Cheers Robert
