Hi everyone, I recently bought my first AMG - and have been very much enjoying it.
I wanted to get it serviced and have finally had the opportunity and dropped it into DDR in Surrey.
This is the list that I got back:
Water pump has slight play, £534.96
Bleed nipples on front calipers - NSF snapped off, OSF heavily corroded, £291.54
NSR spring broken, req 2 new springs, £338.40
OSF ARB link gaitor split, req new link, £86.58
Both torque strut bushes torn, req 2 new bushes £263.28
O/S engine mount has leaked out oil, req 3 x mounts, £572.80
Rear discs corroded, req discs and pads £287.66
All clamps and connections on exhaust corroded, £103.26
NS rocker cover leaking, req new gasket £169.26
Rear main leaking, £666.66
Front door check straps req replacement £281.22
Which was something of a surprise, but then I didn't have a pre-purchase inspection done so I am the author of my own misfortune here.
I have a question for the mechanically minded here - the PO said he'd had the rockers re-sealed in his ownership, which would be within the last year and a half. Now his garage (not a Merc specialist) may have just done a poor job, but putting those with the RMS am I looking at a crankcase pressure issue?
i.e. should I be looking for blocked breathers before replacing the seals?
