Ok so update. Car is at Merc. The full check is tomorrow however they are suspecting failed brake lines cause due to pressure test. This IS covered underneath the warranty recall so there is no cost to the customer - they acknowledge that the pressure test will have the potential to break other...
I wonder if this pressure test is over what standard driving would be? Seems unfair if I have to fork out if it was the machine broke it. ♂️ Could some fluid have just leaked out during the test? I didn’t see what they did to it
I’ve no idea. Just had a knock at the door after 90 minutes saying passed, and the letter to say all ok. He’s obviously messed it up. Pretty angry about it, more time off work to sort this now

V6 yes.
Hopefully they’ll pin point it, like I say, could be anything. I’m more concerned about the throttle issues - especially if I need to strut shopping around for the part
Long post but could be useful for W208 owners!
So following on from my introduction post, which in summary said I bought a W Reg 2000, 99,000 mile, W208 CLK320 for a gumball rally in August. I have a throttle pedal issue it seems, where it’s going into limp mode and juddering. Such a shame as...
