Hello Benzers. Yesterday was Lutgart’s turn to get her yearly oil change and address the three recalls. This also included the A service which comprised oel/filter, fuel filter change, inspection and tire pressure check. Today, after waiting well over an hour for pickup, we headed home. As we were slowly trekking down the freeway in the rain at 40MPH, I consulted her for a fuel economy check revealing only 9.8MPG! WOW! Since the fuel filter was changed, I knew that the low mileage was due to a leak that must be pretty severe since that is well less than half the normal fuel economy. Arriving home, there was a strong Diesel smell around the front of the van. Also, the real time display showed that the right front tire pressure was low and showing a hotter tire temp than the others. This is after PROFESSIONALS serviced my van! If I knew the location and procedure for replacing the fuel filter, I would have been servicing my own vehicle!!!!! As the saying goes, the only way to fix it right is to FIX IT YOURSELF! I’m going to try to not only get the service for free, but also have them top off my fuel tank as well.
