CLA Coolant Expansion Tank Leakage

[viper.87]

Hello guys,

 

I'm having a coolant expansion tank leakage. Suspect that its due to the engine too hot, the heat from the bolt nut is melting the underneath of the coolant expansion tank.

 

1) Does anyone have such issues with your CLA?

 

2) As my car is still under warranty, I sent it for repair. The service officer told me that it has been replaced. But however, after i quick check, it seems like a patch work. However, the service officer insisted that it is a replacement. For new CLA owners, does your coolant reservoir tank has the white patch thing sticking out?

Sorry bro, i have attached the picture where you can see where the leak come from (before the fix)

 

Please help to check the underneath of the coolant reservoir tank (where the arrow is pointing)

 

Thanks!!

Looks like a patch job. Should have insisted on seeing the replaced part when u collect the car.

The service officer who is supposed to oversee the repair has went home when I collected my car at 6:15pm. Sigh.. I didn't expect this kind of service from CnC. I'm going to write in to them if its really a patch job.

I agree it is good to see the damaged part, at least we know thing are replaced as promised. The feeling I always get from the customer service officer is they tends to quickly finish off the paper work and not so willing to explain thing in details, especially when u ask them technical stuff. I am not trying to be difficult or find fault but just wanted to find out the root cause. We only visit service centre 1 or twice a year, so it is normal to ask questions. I would grade them below average for "customer focus"

Wah..... Indeed it looks like a patch work!!! Shame on CnC, I would have thought warranty work like this standard would have come from Parallel importers workshop! For CnC workshop to have done this, it defeats the purpose of buyers paying more from an Authorised Agent. Really shame on them!

Customer Service has replied me and their investigations shows that its a new piece. They mentioned its "moling"

 

Does your existing CLA has that "mole" sticking out?
