Hello my name is Vicky

I really need some help. My car has an oil leak it has been repaired but it never went away! I’ve given up with that garage as they initially said it’s a different leak now saying it’s my pistons (everyone else saying it’s not!) Finally got it diagnosed by Mercedes who said it’s oil cooler! My problem is no “normal” garage will quote to do it! Also my injector needs replacing quotes starting at £350 if it goes smoothly (means nothing to me!) I just feel like I’m getting ripped off left right and centre! I know nothing about cars so would welcome any help or advice!
PS Mercedes quote is rediculous getting more than cars worth! Also they say timing chain needs checking??

Hello and welcome,

Worth putting up your location so members can recommend a “Indie” (Mercedes specialist) garage who can give you good advice/repair
