Hi all, I've just joined this forum because I'm getting a 500L wagon. I went to see the documentation and saw a receipt of filter change. But isn't it strange that A/C and pollen filters needed changing at 4100 miles on the clock? Am I too anxious?
 
Not too sure, I have my pollen filter changed my on yearly service. There's been a bit of leaves trapped in there and not much else, and this was from a 8k to 19k service interval.

I got a couple of UFI pollen filters as prime add-on items on Amazon dispatched from Italy at a steal price of 3 quid each, ended up purchasing 10, enough for the lifetime of the car as they're at a very cheap price :) Seems to have sold out now though. For filters, ECP can be ok with prices but sometimes it's extortionate with similar prices to Fiat, I'd recommend looking around online at a reputable company (but not eBay, can't be certain if it is genuine there).

I did notice Fiat are not configuring any more diesel engines for new cars but just petrol, probably with all the diesel-gate issues. Pretty sad to see them go as they're small but mighty - in my opinion anyway.

I suppose you are right, it's dated around a year after the registration - thanks! Your tip of sourcing filters is great - but only useful if I do take it home. I am feeling reluctant about this 500L wagon when the chap from the dealership couldn't get the gear out of neutral (it's a dualogic), and he got the mechanic to get it to work. Then I saw many threads of discussion exactly on sticking with neutral or slotting in neutral automatically for some reason. When I recall him operating the stick, I can't think of any practice out of ordinary. There's only 4500 on the clock... :confused:
