Hey all!
I have a 2006 Mercedes C class coupe (c200).
I'm not a technical guy in anyway so bare with me.
I had a situation where the car failed to start and then after towing it to one garage they said it was the timing chain that jumped but they didn't want to get involved with it.
I laid for it to get towed to another garage, who said the timing gear had jumped, they would charge short of 2k for replacement and also new filter (couldn't remember which they said it was).
They also said they weren't keen on doing the job as there could be further damage to the valves etc and they don't have the time.
This car is unbelievably special to me and I want to keep the car going so I wondered if any of you good folks could offer me any lifelines as to what to do now?
I'm based in Tadley, Hampshire.
thanks in advance!
