S350 diesel leak problem

[G30ffs]

Hi just looking for a little advice. I bought my S350 a 2012 very low mileage car in September last year. After a few weeks I noticed a diesel leak and took it back to dealer. The closest member of the dealership was a Vauxhall garage. They were unable to do anything so sent it to German Autocare. They had it a few weeks and was told via the Vauxhall dealership that the drive belts were contaminated and need replacing which they would cover under warranty. Another 2 weeks went by and no contact from them. I rang and was told that its a long job and would be ready soon. After 2 more weeks I am told that the diesel is leaking into engine and it may need a new engine. I assume that its getting into the sump. After 2 more weeks I get told that it has been on diagnostics and the leak has now seized the engine and it certainly requires a new engine now. Is this possible ? I have mechanical knowledge but not to anything as complex as this car. I feel like I am not being told the truth.

Welcome on board, Sir. You need to find a reputable Mercedes independent specialist near you. If you state your approximate location, someone will recommend one.

Yes thank you but unfortunately I have to go with the warranty from the dealership. They do have a Mercedes dealership but it is in Sheffield, I am in Bradford West Yorkshire. The company doing the work is German Autocare of Pudsey West Yorkshire through the company I bought the car from and supposed to be very good but somehow managed to seize the engine.

I would reject the car as not being of merchantable quality & demand my money back.
