They won't do it because there is such a high chance that water will get into someplace it shouldn't and then cause massive problems. They don't want the liability. Can't blame them. Some model years are even more susceptible than others to this issue. Search the archives across the various MB forums to read the stories of woe...

i ride a bicycle
is there a coin-operated do-it-yourself car wash in your area? that's what i would recommend if you insisted on washing your engine.
