Well here I am in sunny Yorkshire visiting my granddaughter and the Metc has let me down.
In April 2009 I had the dreaded oil in turbo on the V6 which cost over £600 to fix ( thanks for Warranty Direct who licked up the bill). Then in Sept last year whilst travelling through France it happened again.

Now today all power gone, no kick down and engine management light comes on. So I'm assuming same again.
Called mobilio and as it's late have agreed for them to come first thing tomorrow.
Now my question is, the first repair is guaranteed for 2 years. So they rebated me for the French disaster. It is now 2 years and 2 weeks after the first repair but only 8 months after the second. Will MB pick up this bill or is it down to me?
Personally I feel there us a fundamental design fault and if this is going to happen on an annual basis I'm inclined to get rid if the car and move to a more reliable marque.
So as they say ......what does the panel think?
I'm not going to rage or get too vexed until a) the fault has been diagnosed and b) MB have given me their decision.
Just hoping it's all fixed in time for Olly's GTG as I'm booked in for an ATF change.
