Hi Guys,
After some advice please. Recently my car has been struggling to start first thing in the morning.
The vehicle cranks over but doesnt actually start. This has been an on-going issue and I have had a few Mercedes Benz Specialists check the car over. One had told me that the battery needs replacing and would fix the issue. After spending £310 on a brand new MB battery the issue is still there.
The main dealer also checked the issue last year and were quick to say it 'May' be due to the fact that I have a dashcam connected to the car. Since having the new battery installed I have had the dashcam disconnected so can confirm dash is not the issue.
I have had another Mercedes Benz Specialist check the car over and after connecting the Xentry Star Diagnosic computer to the car has told me the issue is more pointing towards the Fuel Rail (Which was replaced by the main dealer in March 2019). I have attached the fault codes that are stored on the car.
The question i have is if I was to take the car to another MB dealer who had not completed the work to replace the fuel rail and they highlight the issue is with the fuel rail again, are they within there rights to point me back to the original dealer who had replaced the fuel rail which was done under warranty.
Am I right to assume that parts have a 2 year warranty so technically speaking I would not have to pay for the work IF the conclusion is that that fuel rail is the issue again?
The Mercedes Benz Specialist who is highlighting the Fuel Rail Pressure Sensor to be the issue is telling me that you cant purchase the sensor on its own. You have to buy the whole rail. The cost for the fuel rail is £700. Is this also correct?
Any advice on the above would be really appreciated guys.
Thanks in advance.
