i bought a 2001 c180 1998cc 111 engine just over 1 wk ago on the first day i heard a slight rattle so i took the car to a mercedes dealer who diagnosed the variator and quoted around £950 to replace i went back to the car sales who sold me the car and they agreed the noise gave me a courtesy car and replaced the parts and also the magnetic switch and did the wiring harness modification at the same time renewing engine oil and filter and also antifreeze etc . what i would like to know is if there is anything which can be done to stop the variator failing again my car has 65k miles showing with a dealers history any suggestions would be appreciated thanks acarvic
