Hi I have a 2013 mercedes ml350 blue tech, I had the timing chain rattle and decided to take it to a mercedes dealership, they changed the timing chain, they ran it in the workshop and they said it sounded good, they cooled the engine and then took it for a driving test and the engine seized, they are saying it wasn't there fault, they are saying that it was because the chain was loose and then they put a tight chain on that was the problem, they took the sump pan off and they found swarf and sludge, they said the oil was in poor quality the oil was change this March with mercedes approved oil. They have agreed to waive the labour chain replacement labour, but if I put a secondhand engine in I am still looking at a £8000 bill.
Does any one have any suggestions what I can do to get some compensation from mercedes and what other option I have for engine replacement.
Thankyou in advance. Steve
