Hi Königstiger, owners:

Had my S213 in for its first Service A and asked them to look after a few things that are bothering me. Amongst them what I would label inconsistent deceleration; i.e. it feels like the breaking isn’t smooth when pedal is depressed. Shop listed bulletin LI42.10-P-01801 on their report / invoice, yet told me there is nothing that they can do about; vehicle still stops.... Any chance somebody can dig up this TSB, as I’d like to see what it actually says. From the creators of the “the best of nothing” statement (which didn’t seem to apply to a few other issues I asked them to look after...).

Thanks much!
