No longer a Benz...
Well the 55 gave up its engine oil on the road and it now resides at Mercedes Benz... Initial diagnosis is rear main... so gearbox out!!
So after coming back to Mercedes after a number of years with my previous CLK500 which needed gearbox work and now this.. i will NOT be getting another!!!

Sorry to hear this. Ring Nigel to let him know you will have to cancel the remap on Saturday.

MB should repair at their cost as a goodwill gesture. AMG cars are not supposed to do this sort of thing.
 
So I call MB Customer Service for a possible good will gesture.... If the guy could have laughed he should of, as his voice certainly sounded that way!!
Due to age... NO good will gesture... So a 77k top of the line CLK blows rear mains does it at 57k miles....

Its up for sale when I get it back!!! piece of shxt....

try speaking directly to AMG in Germany.

Does the car have full MB service history?
 
sorry to hear abt that mate, very bad luck! Wouldnt it be worth keeping after you shell out to get it fixed?
 
Sorry to hear that. I hope MB pull through for you. I hope you do get another merc. I wouldn't blame you if you didn't though.

dont blame you mate, id be too, hopefull when the shock calms down you may think differently! would definately make me think abt buying a MB next time tho if its hit me twice!
 
I will give you £20 for it Greg.

Remember you have a warranty on your car.
 
Mate, I'm really sorry to hear about all this.

It's terrible news. :(

I sincerely hope things get sorted.
