- 2008 MERCEDES C-CLASS C180 KOMPRESSOR SE (MANUAL / PETROL)
Been servicing my Mercedes Benz, C 180 Kompressor 2008 at the same garage for the last 3 years.
Each time I take it for servicing it costs me 1000s and repairs take weeks to complete. Not to include having to hire a replacement car
This time I went in for a MOT and service B. Besides asked them to look at the washer jets and the windshield spindle, which was leaking.
Now been told the total costs will costs around 800 quid, and parts will be ordered asap. Which here means as slow as possible.
Here is their response, cut and pasted

We have carried out the MOT and B service. It has failed on both anti-roll bar links – this will be covered under parts warranty. It has also failed on washer jet and side repeater lens which is on the above proforma.
We have inspected the serpentine belt, we can see that it is all ok and has no cracking or damage.
The oil blockers for the solenoid wires that you have asked us to check, we have found a slight oil leak from the solenoid and oil in plugs on the loom. We have disconnected the engine ECU and found oil present in the multiplug. If we replace the solenoids and remove the oil there will still be oil residue in the wiring so how would you like us to proceed with this?
---MY RESPONSE WAS: JUST LEAVE IT , AS I DON'T know where this will lead to
We have attempted to fit the rubber seal on the rear axle supplied by yourself, the part supplied is incorrect and requires the wiper motor spindle. This is also in the proforma above.
-------
Will scan and attach the performa later
Looks like another grand down the drain, Paid out like 5 grand in September itself.
It it the garage or my car??
