ML 270CD 2003. Transmission Tunnel - Carpet stain.
Hi - last week noticed a spreading stain all over transmission tunnel carpet. Have been told its due to failure of a £17.00 electronic multi-plug, which exits gearbox & allows gearbox oil to soak along wiring loom.......... into an electronic control box & then leak out onto carpet.
As car is 5 yrs 7 months old, despite ALLWAYS being serviced by MB - Mercedes will not honour the £4200.00 bill to repair & replace !!
Question - is this a 'common' fault which perhaps should have been checked at a service or even a recall possibility ??
Any advice appreciated
Kind Regards
