Warranty

Damn, sorry I forgot but the original 2002 MY MB warranty booklet for CA, ME, MA and VT includes a 7yr/70000 mile warranty on the cluster and others (Intake manifold, EA/CC/ISC/Actuator, Fuel Tank, exhaust manifold, catalysts, ECM, TCM). Check it and see not sure for older years.

I was not aware of this and I had my cluster replaced but used my aftermarket warranty, they paid $1200 plus I had to pay $100 ded.
