E220 CDI Elegance 2007. 21K Miles.
Hello, can somebody please help me.
About four weeks ago my E220 CDI just cut out on the motorway the APS light came on, so I cruised into the hard shoulder. I tried and tried to start it but it would not even turn over, so the recovery truck took the car to my home, the next day it started and I drove it to my main dealer. After two days they told me my ECU connections were all rusty and the ECU had to be replaced at a cost of €1800, I had no choice but to agree to the work. I was told it had to be a new part as a second hand unit would not be coded for my car. The new ECU came from Germany and was fitted and the dealer told me the car still had the same problem. Now four weeks later I am still waiting for the problem to be solved. They are replacing the connection pins (lugs) on the plug cables and they have to be ordered from the UK so it’s a slow process. Four weeks today and they told me it should be ready next Friday (five weeks). I purchased the car brand new from them in 2007 and it was the third new Mercedes I have got from them. The dealer told me I was not using the car enough and the drains under the windscreen got blocked up with moss etc. I only agreed to pay for the new ECU and labour charge to change. Can somebody please tell me what can I do to hurry them up as I don’t want to be looking at an enormous bill for all this work.
Cheers and Thanks. Riocht.
