The other day I was trying to solve the pesky windshield washer fluid leak under my hood, when I noticed a large bubble had formed in the upper radiator hose of my Sprinter. I was feeling lucky that I caught it before it blew. Took a trip to Advance, no radiator hose available through them. OK so I have to go to the dealer, My town has a MB dealer and an Independent Sprinter dealer. The MB dealer does not sell Sprinter parts and refers to the independent dealer. The independent guys are only open 8-4 Mon-Fri. I have to work those hours so it takes a couple days to get by there when they are open.
The part is only $15 but its NOT IN STOCK, so its been a week now waiting on a damn radiator hose. It's been almost week now waiting, and this is not the first time. Are we just expected to park these things while waiting on very common and inexpensive parts to be ordered? If we are required to use only genuine parts, shouldn't the MB dealer be able to help?
I love my Sprinter, I hate the logistics for it though.
