Well the vibration still is there, slightly better after engine out and new gasket to manifold.
In with the dealers next week to check it once and for all.
The guys a MB motors in Chester have been completely a joke to be honest. I have given them the benefit of the doubt but its truely amazing how crap the service has been and communication and effort. Not to mention the amount of collateral damage my car has sustained there.
Trim missing from interior vents.
V12 Bad on engine cover broken off.
Engine cover snapped.
Plastic under the engine comes in 3 parts, 2 parts where completely smashed up, new ones put on.
headlight washer gone, (probably not them that one)
Various pipes around engine lose not clipped on.
The car always comes back covered in crap.
I book it in for a 5 hour job and it takes 7 days.
Comes back not fixed and normally with other issues.
First time vibration still there, 2 weeks later with them i came back broken coil pack.
The could not find the source of the vibration even though its been in there garage for maybe a total of 12 weeks.
I've spent well over 4k and nothin improves. To cap it all off, i get to be the villian for ringing up and pestering them.
What mercedes dealer says its a 10 hour job. and it took them 8 days to fix.
Absolutley no clue, no effort and no expertise. Ive used them twice once with a radiator that was replaced 3 times before they notice there was 4 blades missing from the fan and it was hitting the engine and putting a whole in the radiator and the S600.
It only had a blown turbo that needed replacing, but it been hacked hammered and badly replaced, never worked properly since they put it in.
I look at the state of the bits i can see and think if they cant take off and put back the simple bits like the cover what the hell they done with the turbo and pipes.
Anyways, now since i picked it up from friday, bear in mind it was working fine 7 days ago apart from whoosing noise over 2k revs. Now its smoking.
Then smoking alot and engine management light comes on. Then it goes no smoke engine light off, then it comes on again.
Checked oil level thats ok and water level is unchanged and in the expansion tank the water is not contaminated.
It had new cats put in not oem but 400 cell cut and weld ones.
I touch the cats they are red hot.
Anyone know what the smoke could be and what mischief they might have done, dirty sensor etc.
